• This function should not be called from group deeded objects^[1], it will silently fail.
• This function silently fails for an avatar that has muted itself.^[2]

Deep Notes

History

• Introduced in version 1.6, no support for group deeded objects.
• As of version ~1.9, support for group deeded objects was added (possibly by accident).
• In the server upgrade released on 2007-03-14, support for group deeded objects was removed.

Footnotes

1. ^ This was not always the case, see History for details
2. ^ This can be extremely bewildering to debug because there's no easy way for a user to self-mute. Apparently it "just happens."
