Instead of approaching directly and talking about some issues concerning RLV settings, the member chose to post multiple notices of an increasingly disrespectful nature about their opinions of the Estate Managers lack of competency and knowledge of running the Sim. The notices of course were posted in the public group and were extremely childish and outright untrue in the accusations made.
The member is a woman in her early 20's who joined SL a year ago and was given a position of limited power on the Sim by the Sim Owner to help with the daily running and assistance of guests when needed. The Manager has been in SL for 4 years and has spent the last 3 years building and managing multiple Sims from day 1 and turning them into reasonably popular destinations with reasonable traffic. The Sim Owner asked the Manager to build and help to run the Sim, doing whatever it takes to make everything flow smoothly.
When this event happened, the Manager initially tried to defuse the members increasingly hostile notices by offering solutions to every problem mentioned until it became obvious the member was using the group notices to grief and nothing was going to make them happy. The member was kicked from the group for using the notices in an abusive manner.
The harassment immediately continued in private messages until the member was finally muted. After speaking with the Sim Owner about the irrational behavior of the member, the Sim Owner suggests that the Manager throw out the offensive notices and forget about them because they were only written in anger. The member should be reinstated without any farther repercussions and the Sim Owner hopes that things will continue as if nothing happened.
The Manager is having a hard time shrugging off slanderous accusations for the simple reason they were undeserved and this member has a history of causing trouble with a growing number of visitors and other members of the group. The temptation to just walk away from the last year and a half of absolute devotion to creating the Sim in question is tremendous. Should the Manager walk, 90% of the Sims props will also be removed and the Sim will be closed.
Staying and trying to continue working together with this troublemaker simply to keep the Sim Owner happy is asking for continued future problems from this member. What would anyone else do in the same situation?? Stay... Walk away and let the Sim Owner figure out how to do the Managers job herself and start another adventure elsewhere ?
