Building on the individual voice moderation option introduced in the recent update, I’d like to suggest a similar control for sounds. Give authorized parcel and estate moderators the ability to mute sounds coming from a specific resident, including gestures, dance attachments, music players, and other sound-emitting objects they own. At venues, someone repeatedly playing loud or disruptive sounds can interrupt conversations, events, and everyone else’s experience. Staff should be able to address that individual without disabling sounds for everybody or immediately having to eject or ban them. The restriction should prevent others within the managed area from hearing that resident’s sounds, including sounds from their attachments and rezzed objects. It should be separate from text and voice moderation, reversible, and limited to the parcel or estate where staff have permission to moderate. The same idea behind muting someone who abuses voice should apply to someone who abuses sounds. Give staff a way to handle the disruption without taking the fun away from everyone else.
