Just witnessed inciting violence in group chat. Do I report it? How?

[Aasgeir]

Hello all, I'm not a regular forum user, so I hope this is the right way/place to ask such a question. I've just witnessed an explicit call for violence against named individuals in a group chat. I don't know how to report it or whether I should at all; I'd like to, but maybe LL don't deal with such things? I'm honestly a bit shaken. Advice, please.

Open the profile of the person making the threats and choose Report.  You can copy and paste the group chat into the report.  Be sure to include date and SL time.

Thanks. Not sure what category to use; nothing seems to fit. "Intolerance"?

I'm not logged in at the moment but I'm sure that would be close enough.

Yes you can and depending on what is said, report it. Harassment, threats of any kind, is against the TOS. 

Linden Labs have departments that handle such cases and will review all logs. 

If it affected you it affected others as well.

@Aasgeir If you are reporting after the incident, include the region name too. The Lindens will look for the region server logs to verify your report. Of course, if you are in the incident region that info is included automatically.

When it comes to reporting, the Lindens verify reports and check the evidence. They will make a decision based on what they find. They do NOT blindly react. So... if you are overreacting or out of line, they'll figure that out. Hopefully correctly. So it is not a big concern if you goof up.
