I get so annoyed when the whole screen is filled with the art stuff and "I love this tuuuneee lalala lala" I'm so glad that tummy talkers aren't the current fad anymore! Now THAT was annoying as hell!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordyn McGregor Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I always believe it is because people lack the basic skill of communicating and need cliched bs with ascii characters to communicate for them! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymews Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 gestures are an easy way to create a sequences of actions - combining text, sound, animation and triggering scripts for more complex actions personally I find gestures quite a fun thing to do some people tho hate other people playing gestures. Rather than just block the person playing the gestures they much rather start mouthing off about it in chat. Upon which the gesture player blocks the mouthy person and just carries on 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the occasional gesture during a conversation in local. Especially when the gesture is related to the conversation. But as you say, many club goers don't seem to have the communication skills to actually respond to a prior statement or question and instead ruin local chat for those that actually do wish to have a conversation. After all, it's the conversations that bring a club to life, not the gestures and the "big mother loving fog horns". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odd short one appropriate to what is going on is fine, I use them myself from time to time. The first thing I did when I logged back into SL was find out how to mute them, but didn't know about the spam thingie so thanks @RowanMinx . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go to clubs anymore, but when I did, gesturbaters were always muted by me until it was just me alone in the club having an awesome time! My comment was aimed more at the use of them in any and all situations. For example, when I was a CSR for residential rentals I had someone ask me about using sounds on the sim as her and her family used a lot of gestures when talking to each other and my only thought was how sad it was that they needed gestures to help them communicate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaKaya Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Gesture spam is horrible and it makes everything lag, no club or entertainment venue I oversee will ever use such a thing. It looks tacky and is exceedingly pointless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mute the people doing it, then the owners of clubs put in chat extenders and I have to see it anyway. (I leave the venue then) Same with people I have blocked because they send unsolicited items to me.. "Souvenir" snapshots.. WHY?!??!?! If I wanted to save a souvenir photo I'd take it myself. smh. people irritate me irrationally it seems. Do not get me wrong, I do not mind an applause gesture or a occasional I love this tune. But when the DJ or live singers "host" start posting lyrics into chat and it evokes my spam settings... WHY WHY WHY do they do this? Can;t carry on a conversation in open chat because some idiot is spamming their idiotic gestures. there I said it. I am that botch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairreLilette Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I play a single line gesture occasionally...which is very short and is usually something like..."chocolate, yesh". lol And, it's really not even a gesture, it's how some tinies answer another tiny. Some of the tiny ones are cute but it's all about timing for it to be a little bit funny. As for the reason why the gesture spam, I think they were important when there were contests all over SL to see who had sounds on or off because a lot leave (go afk) during a contest but they need to be there for voting and/or for the contest board not to kick them off if the contest board has anti-camping on and because of the anti-camping thing. I could be totally wrong though. Just mute them as shown in this thread in several places. Edited October 14, 2020 by FairreLilette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can turn off sound for gestures and some other thing you can enable to reduce chat spam but FFS, it's 2020. Enough with the page filling gesturbation. NO ONE likes it and people need to tell the venue owners. I do. Me and my friends gesturbate quite often. It’s one of those things. If you don’t like it, don’t go there. Personally I have no problem with a bit of gesture spam 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resi Pfeffer Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I would like to claim that the amount of gestures used is correlated to the music genre(s) played. In an all purpose party club like Moodys or Big Daddies, where you get to listen to a weird mix of 80s, rock, pop, and charts all the time, gesture spam rate is quite high, while i rarely suffer from any gestures when im at Blue Orange or Warehouse 21, listening to a fine vocal house dj set for 2 hours.♪❤☮ .:: CHOON! ::.☮❤♪ ;) Edited October 14, 2020 by Resi Pfeffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriele Graves Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm in the camp of don't like much and will filter at the really bad places but I will tolerate and mostly just ignore the smaller one offs. I have gesture sounds off. I don't really use gestures myself at all any more and haven't for a loooooong time. I was different at the beginning though, I thought gestures were awesome but I think I must have SL-matured along the way somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Voxel Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 If the music is good, I just mute the sound. You can mute the sound and still hear the music. The only reason I know they’re even doing it is because of the spam in local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinos Field Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 More or less I just leave any gesture spam clubs instantly. It lets me know the social space there isn't the kind I enjoy, even if the music is good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
