"Just a guess but if you used accounts just to purchase $L's and then passed them to another account, that looks like money laundering, clearly against the RL law. " Money laundering requires me to be taking money in and out. Not the case if Im simply spending it on the SL marketplace, so not against any RL laws. LL can see where the money has come in from so I wouldnt expect that to be their issue. "You are breaking the TOS now by creating another account, which are not allowed to do if you were banned. Your accounts are not be locked, they will be deleted along with any assets they have." I've not created any new accounts. As I said in the OP, my other accounts appart from 2 are still working. - "Of course it may have been another reason, no one has access to your account records to see. Only you and LL know. They do not ban accounts without a very good reason especially without offering an appeal. This type of ban is reserved the most serious cases of TOS violation, and/or RL law breaking." If you know this then please feel free to enlighten me. Do you know of other people this has happened to? what did they do that was the issue? I cannot think of anything I've done that could be the cause of the rather final response I recieved without any reason.

So on 2 of my alts (which I'm currently unable to use) my account is locked with no notice or any explantion. Not being a complete novice in SL I submitted support tickets on both of them. Over a week later I recieve the following response on only 1 of these accounts: Greetings, This email is notification that Linden Lab has terminated your access to the Second Life virtual world due to severe or repeated violations of the Second Life Terms of Service or Community Standards. Your account has been permanently disabled. Depending on the nature of the recorded violations, additional alternate or household accounts may also have been disabled. Per the Terms of Service, you may not return to Second Life on any account, new or existing. This concludes our investigation of your account. Please consider the matter resolved, and no further communications will be sent. Sincerely, Customer Support Linden Lab The entire Second Life terms of service can be found here: http://secondlife.com/tos ------------- I know for a fact I've not broken the TOS, I've barely used either avatar only purchasing L$ with them. My other avatars (those used for roleplaying and building) still work and I've not broken any TOS on them either. Telephoning has proved pointless as all those on the telephones can tell me is it's locked. They don't know why, and they don't know what sort of time frame I should expect for any kind of response. I'm fustrated as hell, and pretty pissed off at this point. I've been playing Secondlife on and off for nearly 8 years with no issues and then this.. So my question is, what do I do now? (I've already submitted another support ticket but given the first response I got was basically telling me I'm screwed I'm not feeling particularly hopeful). How does this even happen??
