I've finally read the TOS fine print.

[Solaria Goldshark]

11.1 You may terminate your Accounts at any time.

You may terminate this Agreement by closing your Accounts at any time for any reason. In such event, Linden Lab shall have no further obligation or liability to you under this Agreement or otherwise, and you shall be entitled to no compensation or other payment, remedy, recourse or refund.

 

 

.....good grief!  This time they have gone to far!  Now I'm really mad!......when did they slip this little gem in there?

The nerve!!!

That has always been in the TOS. But it sounds more drastic than it is.  If you cancel your account, just be sure to sell any land you have and cash out your L's,  You can give away any transferable things you have in inventory or even sell them as long as they aren't full perm with a no sell license.

 If you cancel it then come back you can reactivate it for a fee of $9.95US but there is no guarantee that any or all  your inventory will still be there  However, there really is no need to cancel an account anymore.  Just don't log in.  That way if you ever decide to come back your avatar and its L's and inventory are waiting for you.

A.  This has been there since I signed up (2007).

B.  Apparently you have not read many contracts that you have signed and especially agreements on the Internet you have "accepted."  This is pretty standard legalese.

I never realised that I cannot get rid of an account anymore when there is not stated in the TOS that you have the right to cancel your account. Not all virtual worlds use this standard.

For example, once you take an account on Avination, you are not allowed to cancel it. Because, according to Avination: Actually deleting an account would destroy creator information on any items created and in world. For reasons of accountability, we can not do this.

Also, by the same token, we need to retain the email address, since it could turn out an item is stolen and we may have to provide the email to law enforcement to aid in investigating a complaint.

To use a serious RL example, if you ever have surgery you will sign a release.  There are two things in that release.

 

1.  If your Insurance fails to pay YOU are still responsible for the bill.

2.  The Surgeon DOES NOT guarantee the outcome of the surgery.

 

For better or for worse, this is simply the way that it is.

There is a bit of 'mumbo jumbo' on the account deletion page.  Note the phrase on the bottom:

"If you still wish to cancel, and understand that Cancellation can be a complete and permanent loss of access to all aspects of Second Life associated with this account, please click the Cancel Account button below."   (my bolding)

 

Details, details, details. My understanding is that accounts actually are not "deleted" because of associated inventory.  When SL first started, deleting accounts was breaking things built with stuff from the deleted account.  So cancelled accounts exist in some kind of "limbo."  What you have done in actuality is cancelled access to that account.

A.  Yes.  I know.

B.  Just a reminder for all those getting their panties in a twist over the TOS......there happens to be an exit strategy.  Go figure.

The OP was being facetious, while at the same time showing all the doom-sayers to the door.

Martians have a dificult time understanding when they are being teased.

Winking on Mars means someting very different than it does on Earth.

re: being teased. If you recall the visit of Bugs Bunny, you can safely assume he was representative of Earthlings in general. If an Earthling is interacting with you, you are probably being teased.

 

I'll not inquire about the meaning of winks for fear of inspiring another attempt at the ESK.

They don't follow their own Terms of Service, but maybe this one. I've reported repeaded TOS violations in world so many times over abuse issues, and nothing zip. Nada.
