I'm sorry but I think a well placed "Hoo!!!" every now and then is a good thing.

I was at an Avatar dance and the shout of the day was "roo-HAAAH".

Hate the roo-HAAAH.

Blingtards grow up to be gesture whores. Muting is usually the best bet.

Be good if we could turn off gestures like we can voice in land options.

If only clubs and other public places would 'police' this better.

Hoooo and the ASCII wolf are probably my least favorite gesture spam, mostly due to their extreme overuse.

Although you can't see them, each mute list entry has flags for 'sounds,' 'particles,' 'text chat', and they're already working. If someone would finish the UI for the mute list, you would be able to do things like "mute this person's sounds" or something like that already.

the "foot" sounds of people wearing shoes with the horse-clop sound added.

If those things are not from people just BEGGING to be orbited ....

I found an even worse one this winter. Someone made a snowbank in a crowded area that made noise when it was stepped on. Constant *crunch* *crunch* noises.

This. So much. As a patron, I leave clubs after the first couple of *Howls* or multi-line ACSII-spamming gesture. Bonus points if it's the greeter/DJ/manager. Double bonus if they use the term 'Linden Love'.

Actually, I'm a total bitch over this kind of thing, and I'm normally so laid back. Anyone who isn't a total newbie is likely to get muted, no warning, for using this kind of stuff around me. Today I met a tall, impeccably outfitted, 2007-rezday Dominant guy. In the first few minutes he used a multi-line LOL gesture with accompanying *long* sound sample of a girlish giggle. Twice. I instantly couldn't stand to be in the same room as him.

I don't run across these things all that often, so for me it's kind of a novelty. It's like something an anthropologist might note in a group being studied - sort of sweet in a way.
