That's the best way to stop background noise. period. An as for the suggestion of telling those around me to be quiet.... I don't think so. The harassment issue will eventually fix itself. Sooner or later someone is going to record what is being said and turn it over to the authorities. @14 Ha ha I agree 100%. That’s the best way to stop background noise. period.

Don't forget that disabling voice is also an option (though it's prolly not the one you wanted), and it DOES cut the noise out.. Abstinence is always 100% effective. LOL I respecfully submit:

A bit of encouragement for the ladies, as your av ages, just as rl, you have fewer insults to deal with. My advice: Kick your av up the social ladder. Use search to get away from the usual noobs. Get to know the people who are really trying to create quality works, activities, environments. In general, the intelligence of the professionals who are working to produce great things for the community is higher in sl than in rl ... you know ... in my ever humble opinion. This doesn't help much with the clothing store issues but it's a beginning ... Until they give us roaming "eject" & "ban" powers ;p ... oh and don't forget ... you can record voice and forward the file along to the Lindens. ... at least in theory ... you are suppose to be able to reply to the initial abuse report auto-response by the Lindens and send more info. Oh, and, when you have to do an abuse report, calm your nerves by ceasing to interact with the people in world. Pull your mind out of there and only interact with the SL viewer (user interface) to accomplish the end goal. Enjoy have fun, Marilla I agree with all that’s been said here re the guys, and the mute, etc. I’m also really fond of eject and ban.

I do agree full heartedly, the amount of men that do that annoys me.. (heaven forbid if Eventide needed voice.. theres a nightmare). but even me going clothes shopping is nearly impossiable without hearing one really overly used an pathetic pickup line.... however.. I do agree with #10. Voice might be a part of SL.. but Second Life isn't like normal life.. unlike normal life.. you don't get a assult charge for muteing someone. it's in the UI and extremely helpful or as I think of it as.. a sanity saver. well I have to give my two cents on the voice.. with # 7 and 9.

Unlike rl you DONT have to listen, or walk away...mute is AWESOME :P Voice it seems is a personal preference, with as many pros & cons, personally I LOVE VOICE…*typo queen* here…and at my place we constantly have folks come in and say wow, you guys use voice…we have discussions on all manner of topics…as far as the Brash pickup lines…voice has a mute function per user same as typing…simply click the *double talk bubble* next to the talk button for active speakers list, click name to put the still, and mute or adjust whomever is bothering you.

I don't hang with those types and even going into a clothing store for women is only a magnet for guys that can't keep their hormones in check. Or the time I was looking at furniture and a naked guy shows up to flop on the couch and start his brambling of pick up lines. The gals are tired of it and unless you ARE a gal you aren't going to see these things going on. One does not have to try to avoid these persons they just tend do show up. Personally it wouldn't bother me a bit to lose the voice for who wants to find out that Mike Tyson sounds like a little boy? Normally I do not post on these things for the flamming gets redunant, but this is my first post for I felt a need to point out that you may not see these things going on but ALL of my gal friends have experienced it at least a few times if not consantly. I don't care for a disgruntled attitude on a post but don't cast a blind eye to what you can't see. Just because you can't see all the fish swimming in the ocean doesn't mean they are not there. My appologies to any that do not condone this kind of behavior. Tegg I tend to agree with Nikki no matter how brash the comment.

Say a simple “hello” and it seems guys only hear “f*ck me now”. All voice has done is to allow hundreds of guys to try and save on their credit cards and embaraasing charges by attempting to use SL as a substitute for r/l phone sex calls. AR’s are a complete waste of time, Lindens NEVER act. Groans at the memory of the horrendous pick lines that has to be endured if voice is on, so I have turned it off. Must be hanging out with a bad bunch of guys I suspect, pretty rare event on voice as far as I seen. If you had a real "carefactor zero" about voice you wouldn't have posted anything :P nikki bechir Says: My care factor about voice is zero.
