Can griefing prim be removed after an abuse report is filed?

[Niel Spyker]

If I file an abuse report for a spamming griefing scripted prim, including the screenshot and the prim details, can I then remove the item from "my" property. Or do I have to wait for LL to Investigate it?

[Eli Schlegal]

I guess I would have probably removed it before I filed the AR and then just not filed the AR. If it happened all the time I would certainly report it, but how much grief could it honestly be causing if you have the ability to return it? It's almost like you are abusing yourself by leaving it there.

"It's almost like you are abusing yourself by leaving it there"

That's a valid point (made me laugh too lol)... a screenshot etal should be plenty.  Why put up with it if you don't have to; LL has your screenshot and include as much relevant data as possible.  Spamming sucks, get rid of it instead of getting high blood pressure and best of luck with the AR.

Thanks for these answers... but these where not the answers to my question though.

Question is: IF and AR is filed should one leave the offending item for LL to investigate or is it ok to remove the item(s)?

[Unklebob Hotaling]

You got your answer 

If someone is verbally harrassed and files an AR, no don't stand there and take it until the Lindens reply... same logic applies. Often times the abuser leaves and all that left for a person to do is submit an AR after the fact; LL is used to it.  Thats what screenshots and submitted data is for.   That said if you want to endure it, by all means.

Uhmmm I don't spend much time on SL as I did, but can you please explain what a griefing prim is..?

[Unklebob Hotaling]

An item created with capabilities that allow it to spam via chat or notecard, particle effects, push, purposely obstruct movement, etc.

It is fine to remove it. It is very unlikely anyone from Linden Labs would actually come look at it unless you couldn't remove it yourself. Hopefully it was a very limited griefing and you can now go on happily with your Second Life.

Nope, I do not believe you need to wait. If the object is in the inventory server I beleive SL can get to it but you need to click the object in the abuse report. See a tutorial if you need information concerning this feature.

A "griefing prim" = an in world object which has been scripted to cause annoyance and disturb the peace.
