<p>if my voice is off and some random person tries to engage me then I have no idea that they are. Its not something I particularly worry about. As its not like we are the only two people logged inworld. And its not like they don't have anyone else to randomly mic chat too </p>sirhc deSantis commented on 'Hear Why Adding Real Life Voicechat to Virtual Worlds is So Disastrous'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01bb09e03413970d2017-12-15T03:25:36Z2017-12-18T04:29:13Zsirhc deSantisIt has its uses.

That vid a case in point.<br />
Funny that it seems to break so often too.

<p>Why not the other way around? Enable it when one wants voices.</p>Ilsa van den Broeck commented on 'Hear Why Adding Real Life Voicechat to Virtual Worlds is So Disastrous'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d2c722bb970c2017-12-14T00:39:58Z2017-12-14T00:39:58ZIlsa van den Broeckthere are a lot of people who feel empowered by the lack of accountability due to the separation between avatar...<p> there are a lot of people who feel empowered by the lack of accountability due to the separation between avatar and RL.<br />
They are disempowered for one reason or another in RL and use SL as their salve for their pain. This holds true for both voice users and typists, but I honestly have found that typists are generally more polite. the voice angle allows people who are to lazy to type or lack the education or typing speed for it to spew their vitriol and hate, and somehow, in their eyes, remain relevant in the conversation.<br />
that said, I believe that there are reasons to keep voice access in SL, mostly for those that are physically unable to type.</p>Willow Dion commented on 'Hear Why Adding Real Life Voicechat to Virtual Worlds is So Disastrous'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b7c93cc9ec970b2017-12-13T23:25:08Z2017-12-13T23:25:08ZWillow Dionhttps://whooshingthemetaverse.com/It is not just unruly users some other users won't even be your friend if you won't voice chat.

A big reason I enjoy virtual worlds is that I'm not forced to do something I'm not physically able to do so I can relax. One reason I don't like Sansar is that you are forced to voice chat in VR mode. </p>Caitlin Tobias commented on 'Hear Why Adding Real Life Voicechat to Virtual Worlds is So Disastrous'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b7c93cc973970b2017-12-13T23:18:28Z2017-12-13T23:18:28ZCaitlin Tobiashttp://www.caitlintobias.comDude in the video should learn how to disable voice, when he wants silence.

I find voicechat adding a lot of good things to my SL experience, not just for chats, but also e.g. book- and poetry readings, panel discussions at events and other occasions where people know how to use voicechat. Not a disaster at all.</p>Gloria Wyatt Aquaglo commented on 'Hear Why Adding Real Life Voicechat to Virtual Worlds is So Disastrous'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01bb09dfd5af970d2017-12-13T22:39:35Z2017-12-13T22:39:35ZGloria Wyatt AquagloI disagree<p>I disagree </p>Willliam Burns commented on 'Hear Why Adding Real Life Voicechat to Virtual Worlds is So Disastrous'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d2c71b0e970c2017-12-13T22:35:47Z2017-12-13T22:35:47ZWillliam Burnshttp://blog.andromeda3D.comThe voice chat itself is merely a communications tool.
