Go to Help/Report Abuse in your viewer and provide details of the attack(s).  Open the person's Profile and Mute/Block him.  Add him to the land's ban list in World/Parcel Details/Access.

thats not going to help a lot if it really is ddos, thats not done from inworld. .. but i think in this case is the best solution because it smells for me to a interpersonal little love drama.

If it really is a DDoS then assuming you're not on a static IP address, restarting your router will be be the best fix, as a quick restart may put you right back on the same IP best to leave it off a little while ... overnight is easiest.

Doesn't matter, the response is the same for any sort of griefing.  But I don't think it is a DDOS attack.  Causing one's viewer to crash is normally done by other, much simpler, means.

yes it does matter, because LL wil never act on a rl issue thats not related to SL. ddos isn't griefing in the meaning we use it in SL.

Next to that, the message OP shows is something we see dozens of times with just bad connections. As i said, it looks like a personal issue, and the crashing has nothing to do with ddos or any activities of the person she accuses. Just a bad connection and hurted feelings. 1+1 is not always 2 .. sometimes just what it says  1+1.

I agree with everything you say, Socks!  But it STILL doesn't matter.  No matter how someone attacks you, the only response available in Second Life is mute, ban, report, ignore.  If it really is a DDOS attack, outside SL, then Linden Lab won't be able to do anything.  Nevertheless, it should still be reported.

I strongly disagree they can still ban that user.

Well, yes.  In an ideal world.  But WOULD they, if the attack came outside of SL?  It's sort of the same thing as when some nasty person posts your IMs on Facebook...it's a violation of ToS, but outside LL's jurisdiction.  So...I don't think they would.  But I could be wrong!

I'm with Lindal. But, if they did ban the attacker... it would do nothing to stop the ddos attack.

[Fionalein]

If you have evidence, show it to Lindenlab, not the public - public blaming is not allowed.

[Fionalein]

ddos requires the accquisition of the victims IP - as Lindal suspects I doubt someone would go all that way when it can be done easier..
