TatianaD Grigorovich Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 If I mute & derender (as I do sometimes) idiots on sl I cannot see or hear them but I do not wish them to see me or be part of my sl, is there anything I can do to stop them seeing my avi?

Madelaine McMasters Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 You can't hide yourself. That would be a massive exploit for griefers. Imagine if I wanted to harass a sim, all I'd have to do is block everyone I see on it and I'd become invisible. I could then wander around interacting with all the objects while everyone else scratches their heads and wonders what the hell has gone wrong. 14 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 If you get a job with Linden Lab, and become a registered Linden user, then..maybe..maybe then you could hide yourself. Or not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, as someone already stated , you can only control what YOU see or hear in SL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayashe Ninetails Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I could be wrong, but I don't think that's a feature in any world or MMO I've been in. Muting/blocking usually just removes your ability to see their chat/IMs. We're fortunate in SL to be able to derender others entirely. But preventing others from seeing your avatar/character - never seen that anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want many things - the why is not the point, the point is that I would like to do it & do not see why I cannot (excepting MM's reasoning above) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 "My purpose in SL is to share my gorgeousness with the other AVIs in our second world, I do this through just by being here and by emoting" Apparently only those you choose? 2 minutes ago, TatianaD Grigorovich said: I have no problem with that at all, they can want but why should they have if I dont want it as well Because your rights end when they would infringe on someone else's rights. Them seeing YOU effects you in no way. If you got your way, what YOU wanted would effect THEIR SL. Not cool at all. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 We can debate rationales as much as you like, of course. In the end, the simple answer to the initial question is "No, you can't do that." No amount of wishing will change that. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cool at all. of course there are those who do not possess the sense of humour to see a tongue-in-cheek profile.... Yes I believe in everyone's absolute right in sl to hide their avi from anyone who has been rude or abusive towards them, why wouldn't you? It's my avi so they can see anyone they please except me - like blocking abusers from my rl phone & email or from getting within a mile of me. I do not understand why anyone would have an issue with that, I am not interfering with their life just with their ability to interact with me What would really not be cool is if you had personal concerns about people blocking you.

I want to win a huge lottery and retire right now, but that sure doesn't mean I'm going to get it. If you cannot see them and they cannot actually interact with you, then it should be very easy for you to fantasize that they do not exist at all and therefore cannot see you. Maybe you need to work on your fantasizing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireschen Hesten Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 If you don't want certain people to be able to see you SL is a big place hang out where they don't, Might not be ideal to start with but you'd get used to it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you need to work on your fantasizing. nope, you are still not providing a reason why I can't banish them from my online existence Arranging so an avi can be blocked from seeing another avi should be a simple thing for LL, only seen one valid reason why it should not happen so far 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps. For now, the best way to solve the problem is to take Mr. Myagi's advice: "The best defense ... Not be there". Just don't hang out in places where you don't like the people. That works for me in RL and SL. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
