This is not an accurate answer, in fact it is completely incorrect. I have been receiving it frequently in the last week on a sim I own, and it happens after I have been building a while. It refuses to rez items from my inventory and other people have experienced it refusing to load their mesh clothing also. Once the region is restarted we can rez things again. Your answer is actually not correct.

The reason I ask is because I have reported the same person over the last 4 years for breaches of TOS including verbal abuse, threats, stalking, harassment, sharing of IMs without permission and revealing real world information including name, email address and banking details and she still logs in regularly. I have proof of everything I reported but she is still in sl.

Role play is a deliberate act of story telling consented to by all participants, and everyone knows they are there to RP. To compare RP to lying is erroneous and misleading. A liar is someone who knowingly disguises, evades or fails to disclose the truth with the intention of misrepresenting facts, usually for personal gain or to avoid responsibility. The comparison of consensual RP with lying is a nonsense, the two are not even remotely connected. Whether we like it or not lying is a part of the human condition. No one can say they have never lied I am sure, however I believe that virtual worlds and the internet are breeding grounds for lies. I believe we have to consider the intent of the original statement regarding liars in Second Life, which is probably that people fail to remain true to real life morals and values and lie in order to gain something, often their lies while not intentionally malicious can still be harmful. These, I believe, are the targets of the forum - not things like RP. Any suggestion otherwise tends to cloud the issue doesn't it?
