HA so you paid like 8 dollars to have a friend? Atleast it isn't as bad as banks back in the day, "pay me 10k and you can collect 1 linden every day forever!" no what im i saying that is pretty bad, you gave someone your money, for something that isnt in secondlife, there is nothing you can do, you just kind of gave away your money, it isn't your money now.

SL could be monitored by law enforcement, it would be funny, because people already try that, you have those second life justice league who act like the super crime fighters of second life, reporting everyone. (They don't get anything done) There are others who basically "play" the role as law enforcer, but anyone can simply report someone in the end, just some of these guys had been like pets for lindens. However these people have no real power, this is afterall a game with a lot of freedom, and though like any other game, you have moderators. It is still just a game, just that it has the freedom to make it whatever game you want it to be. When you go into a sim you kind of are on someone else's property, and he can do whatever he wants to you, and likely will have rules he wants everyone to follow in his sim, if you don't, you might get kicked out, reported, or well just handled by the people in their own way. I mean when I was law enforcement for an RP sim, I just simply put everyone in jail, packed everyone in there, it doesn't really stop them from just leaving or teleporting away(But don't tell them that) The most crime you get are people who duplicate, steal, and basically grief, and you can't stop that, because banning them will probably just have them come back and do twice as much damage, which is usually the the case, you can just keep making alternate accounts and coming back. As far as a game goes, this game has sex, drugs, and basically everything, but none of it is actually illegal because it is just a game and though some things are against the rules of second life, like having people roleplay children and pedophiles, and other things (the reporting system is unbiased, griefers report people too to ruin their fun) People break the rules all the time, but if no one cares to report them nothing happens, just consider secondlife the wild west of the internet.

the correct answer is to not actually care, because anything else expresses weakness and makes you further vulnerable.

this is actually just a linden laziness issue, though speaking poorly of them and mentioning their practices will surely get me removed from here, they are however working under poor conditions, and from what ive experienced and know, a matter of trying to get the most money without spending as much back. Since second life has became open sourced many companies have taken it and made better second lifes that are overall far superior, but this one remains much more popular. the most noticable one that actually turned it into an actual functioning game, Blue Mars where it actually works for the "relaxing" people claim to do which instead i see all the nothing people do if not pent up sexual frustration. of course player created content requires you to request for a license and instead of prims wants you to use 3D modeling programs and upload sculpts and meshes.
