White dot over my head, what is it?

[laros60]

Hi!

I see a white, slightly blurry spot floating over the head of mine and others avatar. What is that and how do I get rid of it?

The white dot indicates that voice is enabled.  That means that everyone with the white dot can hear you when you voice and you can hear them if your dot appears.  It doesn't necessarily mean that everyone that has the white dot can voice though, as a lot of people want to hear voice but can't voice themselves for various reasons, such as noisy kids on the room, people asleep in the house that might be disturbed, or a broken mic, among others.

This is a good thing, since it makes you aware when people can hear you if you want privacy in a coversation you are having. 

You can only 'get rid of it' by disabling voice.

Anyone who doesn't have a white dot is an NPC.  If you walk into them and bumb them a few times they will give you a quest.

I thought the white dot was an idication that the person was a virgin in SL. Damn! This chages everything! :matte-motes-evil:

No, that would be a halo, not just a dot. You don't receive it until you've been an SL virgin for 30 days though so it's quite rare.
