My rl husband has had his account locked, He signed out we went out for food came back and it said to call a number. So he called the number the guy on the phone couldnt help so he told him to submit a ticket. He submitted a ticket and the responce said becasue he isnt a "PREMIUM! account holder they couldnt do anything for him, they couldnt even explain why.

Me and my husband design and make things to sell on xstreet, the ban his account but carry on selling the thing we made and take the funds. is this fair??? no!!!

Can someone give me answers please I am about to loose it and call a lawyer.

We have spent hundreds of $ on this game and its not right to close a account without at least a warning

I actually had a similiar thing occur just saturday. I was fine at midnight on friday. Went to log in at 6 am and my account was suspended .

I called the 800- number on the page. The gentleman that answerd verified some information and read through some linden activity. After 20 minutes of silence while he read he came back . His simple answer was . There appeard to be no reason for it . That someone and I am making a direct quote " Someone thought they saw something .. However I a not seeing anything suspicious I am releasing your account " . Now mind you this is a free account .

I asked for more information as to what may have triggerd this suspect activity. I was told that I couldnt be told why. That it would reveal to much of what goes on behind the scenes . My account was reinstated at once . Still it was the strangest experiance I have ever had with Linden Labs .. It felt very creepy and very fraudulent . the not wanting to reveal why my account had been suspended part still bugs me a bit .

Given the fact that most people are waiting weeks to get issues resolved, you should count your blessings that someone was willing to do the research and re-activate your account so quickly.
