I have found changing my mood can occur very quickly by selecting whom I put on ignore, and how quickly.  Yes, I am so sorry to those of you who already figured that out and  are not, thus, going  to be the beneficiary of my  wisdom.   Although I guess you don't need it.
As far as that thing below my name, well, it seems to work rather universally and it doesn't bounce or do annoying stuff (I THINK?) I can't really tell.
Your mood bouncing or flapping its mouth is not the SOLE criterion I use for the ignore button in fact it is used SPARINGLY but like, it can be the final flip of the coin. Etc.
