 Description  « Hide
Improve Mute adding a more severe level, Advanced Mute, which completely removes the muted avatar and everything attached to that avatar's key from your SL experience.

As an protection against griefers and harassment, and to improve the SL experience, allow a more severe form of mute which, in addition to Mute's current features, no longer passes information from sounds, particles, object, or scripts tied to a given AV to your viewer.

The goal is to prevent many of the common griefing techniques from being effective any longer by keeping the viewer from rendering their effects.

The user can happily forget the existence of the person under Advanced Mute.

There are certainly a few matters that would have to be addressed designing this, such as minimizing it's possible use as a griefing tool itself.

I understand the motivation behind this issue, but I would be a little concerned that the muted individual and their objects would still be able to affect the muter physically (which I really don't think is worth fixing in the server logic), and without visibility to what is causing such effects it might be very confusing and a little scary.

Mute by UUID would be nice to get rid of annoying, repeatative sounds like the outdoorsy sounds generated by some trees, and the typing anim sounds generated by other avatars (among other things).
