Sorciaa Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Not sure if this is the proper area for this but..why do clubs, with a DJ playing.. always seem to spam gestures non stop? The seems to happen far more often then not, atleast to the few clubs I tend to go to. So..  Why is this a thing ?🤔 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakonadrgora Darkfold Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 because they think that will get you to tip them. because they think it makes you feel included and important and to hype up the music and club. its all about marketing, to get you to feel you need to or should tip them for all their effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, cause it makes me want to do the opposite and mute the sound. A little hard to enjoy the music when its always drowned out by annoying noise, but thats me. I guess someone must like it 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess someone must like it yep, they basically are shooting themselves in the foot doing it, but they think its the cool thing to do because so many other clubs do the same thing. So they think it is the normal or correct way to run a club. If at a club, I usually mute the host/hostess and often the dj, and just listen to the music because of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmi Zehetbauer Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 When I ran a club --- it was mostly live performers and the only gesture spamming most of the time was the applause one when the song ended. But for DJ clubs, I stayed away from those as it gets annoying and I'll bail. It's as bad as clubs (and some avis) that use flashing lights or particles. Some of us will get seizures from those. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have clubs I go to where that 99.99999% never happens, and never from the DJ or venue, but by some nimrod in the audience. A while back I bought a $$$$ membership to a popular, pretty adult region. I never did much with it. Recently I decided to try to get some of my money's worth and they do have very good DJs. ZOMG! So much for any notion that $$$$ memberships weed out nimrods! The folks in the audience not only spam with local text gestures but also with SOUNDS. wtf? And in one instance the region OWNER who was at the club, was doing so also! Just... why? Buncha attention whores. Agree, as soon as that stuff starts happening, if it is by the VENUE, I will not tip. Too bad for them, as I'm a generous tipper when in the mood.

I've run across some sounds that I haven't been able to figure out how to turn off. I'm not used to dealing with such spam, so I'm probably not doing something obvious. But you know the sound thingie control in the upper bar of Firestorm? The one that has the controls for master sound, ambient, voice, music, etc? Nothing I switch off will get rid of the gd'ed noise spam. And yes, I'm 11+ years old and still a frikkin noob at some things! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick0678 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 It's an annoying left over from the 2000's SL era, just disable the gesture sounds you are not actually missing anything in regards to experiencing SL. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often the audience does over do it as well. Mostly its the host/hostess that I see at times. which is why I usually dont tip them when they do. I usually end up muting whoever is in the club doing it. easier then letting them drive me away and ruining my enjoyment of the music at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan either. My man got one of those and never opened it. The venue owner asked why and he said he's there to play tunes and enjoy it. The owner gave him a warning to start using them. So my man dedicated the next song to the venue and played Johnny Paycheck's "Take This Job and Shove It!" He got promptly banned afterwords and ARed too. Got a good laugh out of that!

Not all things can be set private. some of those kinds of things do not have a private setting or im only setting.

That is not going to help when you want to say something in local and your text has been scrolled out of sight with dozens of lines with "HOOOOO", "TUUUNE!" and "I LOVE THE DJ", not to mention the spamming of gestures with 20+ lines because that is oh so amazing! 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its sometimes about the humiliation or the excitement for some people. just like slappers and spankers and moaners. it so other people get to know what you are doing or is being done to you by someone else. some people are exhibitionists and some people like to watch.

Kimmi Zehetbauer Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Kind of reminds me of the old eXite brand. I used to be in their group more for entertainment then anything. Got a bunch of good laughs --- like "my thing is stuck on the floor and can't move it." 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Nick said and there's also a box in preferences you can check to enable spam protection. Just remember to shut it off afterwards or you can miss messages from groups and such. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
