  1. Suffice to say that "ignoring" is never an option when you're running a business in SL. (Not unless you want to drive away all your customers).
  2. Many thanks to everyone who responded to my original post. You have effectively confirmed what I felt was the case - namely, that there really is no way to avoid this sort of long term abuse without deleting your account and starting again. I had a distant hope that there might be some other way to resolve my friend's problem. Sadly, not. Thanks to everyone who posted their advice here. I now regard this thread as closed. Dylan
  3. Many thanks to Marigold and Gabriele for their replies.. Perhaps I should have mentioned that I am an experienced member of SL with over 10 years of regular use (although this is my first ever post to these forums and I may appear to be a newbie here). My friend who suffers the abuse is also a long time (and regular) user. The advice given is good and is also well understood by me and my friend. However, all of the avoidance suggestions have been tried without success. The reason for posting this question is simply to highlight an extremely frustrating situation where there would appear to be no solution. If it is true that the UUID cannot be changed - even for a` Premium Member who chooses to change their name - then it seems there really is no solution to a problem which I'm many others may have experienced. Creating new Accounts and deleting existing ones - with the consequent loss of Inventory - would appear to be a drastic remedy. Does anyone have any views about this?
  4. I have a friend who, for over 4 years, has been plagued with frequent and repetitive abuse and unwelcome attention by another SL user. The abuse has often been directed at her partner as well. The abusive user creates multiple “alts” to avoid being blocked/banned. Several of these alts have been banned from SL but the user simply creates more and the abuse continues. The abuser makes use of trackers to be informed whenever my friend or partner come in-world. It is relentless, mindless, and distressing and has even caused my friend’s partner to leave SL for a while (now returned - but the abuse continues). Needless to say, their whole experience of SL is greatly spoiled by the activities of this abuser. My friend is a Premium Member and is aware that she could change her name (and UUID ?) to evade any further detection from this abuser. Unfortunately, her partner is not a Premium Member and cannot afford to become one, so any name change by my friend would be pointless unless her partner could also change. My question is this: Is there any mechanism whereby a “special case” can be made to allow the partner to change their name (and UUID) so that they can both avoid any future attention from this abuser? Since both of them are very long time users of SL, simply creating new accounts is not an option because they would lose the contents of their respective Inventories by such a move. It seems to me that some sort of mechanism to help them both escape from this relentless abuse would be justified. Can anyone offer any advice or assistance on this?
