Reporting Abusive Objects

[Silk Shilova]

I want to report a replicating abusive object near my land that is causing considerable lag, but I cannot seem to obtain the owner details when I click on any of the objects or beacons for this.  What can I input in the Abuser Name and or Object owner fields so I can file the report with Linden Lab?

You can use the name of Governor Linden in the Abuser Name field; explain briefly and straightforwardly, as you've done here, giving the location, including the screenshot (make sure that box is ticked on the abuse report form) and someone will probably come out pretty quickly to clear it up if it is likely to be affecting sim/server performance.

Edited to add:

If you use the highlighter (press "ctrl" "alt" and "t" at the same time), you might see the root prims that is spawning the objects, then you can click on this to find the abuser name.

Wishing you luck.

How to file an abuse report

To file an abuse report, do any of the following:

• Choose Help > Report Abuse from the menus at the top of your Viewer window.
• To directly report another Resident, right-click their avatar and choose Report 
• To directly report an object, right-click the object and select Manage > Report Abuse.

The REPORT ABUSE window opens, displaying a snapshot of what is onscreen at that moment and the relevant identifying information if you selected an avatar or object.

1. If the snapshot helps clarify the issue, check Use this screenshot. Screenshots can be very helpful visual evidence; include them whenever appropriate.
2. If the report is about an avatar or object , click the button to fill in the relevant information automatically.
3. Click Select category and choose a category. If you don't see a category for the particular incident you're reporting, use Select Category > Other and explain in the Details field.
4. The Location of Abuse field is filled in automatically with your current location. Change to specify a different location.
5. In the Summary field, write a concise, one-line summary, much like an email subject line. Be brief yet precise.
6. Use the Details field to give as much pertinent information as possible to help Linden Lab assess the incident.
7. Click Report Abuse to submit the abuse report.

Tip: If you don't know the offender's name, choose "Governor Linden" as a placeholder and explain in the report details.
