Does Linden Labs Support Bullying, extortion, harassment, stalking?

Welcome to Second Life Answers, jacob.

I hope you are not responding at all to this person and his alts/friends. NEVER retaliate in any way to a bully, not even to tell them "I'm reporting you to LL" or "you are so muted". It just spurs this kind of moron on.

LL will be looking into all the abuse reports you have sent.

Just continue to quietly mute anyone who harrasses you.   If you become a no-fun target, they will stop.

All the actions you described are Violations of the Community Standards and SL Terms of Service. Justice takes time, a record of your Abuse Reports is being stored.

The quality and accuracy of Reports is very important. Stick with the facts, avoid making personal attacks, be patient with the process.

Every Report is reviewed, none are ignored.

No, Linden Lab does not support any of that.  Keep filing Abuse Reports........yeah it does sometimes take a while to get it all resolved.  But, over the years, I've found that a properly submitted report with all relevant facts (and any supporting information) are responded to quickly........resist the urge to embellish your complaint and never accuse the Abuse Team of imcompetance (I know, it sometimes seems that way).  There are a ton of AR's submitted daily (many of which are bogus).  If the team member who picks up the report can't figure out what it is that is being reported (or finds some exaggerations in the claim), it's going to go to bottom of the heap........maybe to the trash bin.

I'm just replying to underline and echo what the others have said; You AR, you mute the idiots, you don't respond to them, you forget them and go on with your SL. Rinse and repeat if necessary!

LL will get to your case even if it takes a while.

My business partners and I had an incident last year in SL where we were being harassed and infringed upon by a neighbor who was clearly violating terms of service with encroachment and unethical conduct. We filed numerous,proper, complete ARs that never got action taken on. In frustration we went to an acquaintance, an old-time SL contract programmer, for advice. The oldltimer discovered that the Violator was actually a Beta Tester (and Alt) (one of the original beta testers who have an almost mythical standing in LInden labs, with perqs like 4000 square meters of perpetually free land). Because the AR response team couldn't give us information in response to the AR, they simply did nothing, rather than take punitive action against the vaunted original LL BetaTester. Although we have had other experiences were ARs were promptly dealt with, there are occasions when, for no apparent reason, there is never any action taken against obvious hooligans and ARs go unanswered. In the end we downsized our property (LL's loss) and moved Sims to avoid the creep.

   Sounds like an issue. If Linden Lab isn't going to handle it(not to discredit anyone) than they are probably business trying to improve the servers from the same kind of people that are attacking you. I can't judge from the situation without hearing both sides of the story. I hope to see more of these stories in turn to reach a honest and healthy solution.
