Wow...the hostility in this thread is palpable.....on both sides...lol
Obviously the OP did wrong...SL has this particular rule for multiple reasons and I agree with all of them...and the idea of children roaming the main grid, I'm sure, freaks a lot of people out, myself included.....things are worn and done on the adult grid that no child should witness.....and altho the OP insists her joining for one particular aspect of SL doesn't negate the fact that they shouldn't do it all, and should be banned for it...
Now....part of the OP I do agree with is that SL certainly doesn't make it easy to come back once banned...despite if maybe the reasons weren't the residents fault. And at times I don't think it's fair that in order to get any help one must pay for a premium membership....despite being a basic user who has spent hundreds of their own money in SL on commerce....and all that can be frustrating...but I'm not in the LL meetings...I am sure they have reasons for doing things as they do....and the best we can do as residents is keep our noses clean and constructively inform LL of these issues.........
BUT...before getting enraged, frustrated or even slightly confused as to why one's ticket or complaint hasn't been responded to, one has to ask...how many registered users are there compared to the Linden team?....I highly doubt they have 100,000 people working in their offices....so these things do take time....I don't think the amount of time the OP has had to wait indicates the Lindens are lazy.....just trying to take in and evaluate the countless complaints or issues that came before theirs.....
