Heya I saw an item being sold as a gacha on mp, but I actually recognize it as a prop from another creator's furniture. I know some props used as part of AVsitter need to allow copy and transfer permissions, so I'm guessing this person may be taking advantage of that and selling the items to others. My question is, who should be the one reporting this? Does it have to be the creator or can anyone report? (in addition to letting the original creator know, of course) Thanks in advance!

I'm not even sure where to ask to be honest and reading the wiki has left me with a few doubts so I thought I was ask for general opinions here. At least that way I'll know if I am wasting LL's time or not. Okay so to quote LL's Terms of Service/Community Standards here; https://www.lindenlab.com/legal/community-standards This relates to alternate accounts, specifically. If someone tells others the identity of your alternate account, that's a clear case of above/Disclosure, correct? But what if they tell others of accounts they suspect are alts? Not; "I think that *name here* is Rae". It's "Did you know *name here* is Rae? She told me years ago. I was just telling *their friend's name* about it. I thought everyone knew? " (Not true). Having alts is one thing. Being accused of being an alt, or having an alt, and having that repeated to any who will listen seems like another matter. It's also incredibly frustrating. Because someone has it in mind that I am someone else that then automatically entitles them to my real life information? I'm supposed to step out of my comfort zone and voice with a stranger, or send a real life photograph, or have a Skype chat just to set their mind at ease? What exactly constitutes as proof that can't be tampered with (such as Photoshop or flat out Catfishing anyway)? Why should I disclose anything in a virtual world where one is encouraged to be whatever they want to be... provided I tell anyone what they want to know. That defeats the purpose of being here in Second Life, doesn't it? Ignoring this person or what they say doesn't work. I blocked them years ago when it first started and we haven't spoken a word since but the rumours keep persisting. That was over FIVE years ago in fact and it's just now reared its ugly head again. I'm not alone in all this. A few of my closest friends are also implicated and for one of them, after reporting a virtual stalker in SL for over two years and having nothing done about it (and subsequently having a nervous breakdown because of it) I think this may be the final straw. For one final insult, the friends that told me what was said would, according to the same rules covered in the ToS/CS, get into trouble/a warning for trying to help. So I can't AR without sacrificing them which puts me in a precarious situation. I'm sure Linden Lab doesn't really care too much about this sort of thing as no doubt it's a case of "he said/she said" (even with IM logs, and who is to say they don't assume both sides have edited them anyway) and there are bigger issues to deal with in the entirety of Second Life. I'm just not sure what else can be done to stop this person's toxicity beyond just deleting my account and walking away for good. Legally, realistically, what can be done? 😔

Looking for advice and I am not just complaining. I really want to help. There is a person that has been for years harassing and abusing to appoint one person lost her business and another lost his job as a dj. multiple reports have been filed yet nothing has been done. She has clearly broke Lindens rules of Harassment " Harassment can take many forms. Communicating or behaving in a manner that is offensively coarse, intimidating, threatening, or causes annoyance or alarm is not allowed." I was threatened that my personal info and made up stuff would be sent to my friends and was. Luckily I only lost one friend. In addition she has Repeated transmission of undesired content Disrupting events or user conversations, such as through the use of repetitive sounds, Spamming Posting interpersonal disputes or personal negative commentary publicly when such communications should occur through private channels of communication; All from Lindens definition. She has done this with her fiends, herself and alts. Yet my friend lost her business and another lost her job and she still harassing. Since I blocked her she started to follow me and send me $L1 several times a day. (form looking at my profile?). SOOOOOO how do i send an effective abuse report like I said nothing happened from the multiple others. She needs help and lack of response from Linden is only empowering and encouraging. Please Help I want SL to be safe for everyone. In RL it is easier because of police and courts in SL I feel so helpless.

I have been wondering about this for some time. I do get griefed, pushed, multiple objects sticking to me, giant *****es engulfing my avatar, etc. Everyone gets that. It's SL, so it kind of comes with the territory to some extent. I never engage, just block the person, mute the objects if I can, and file a report. I'm sort of not sure if there's a point though. I mean does anyone really look into these things at all? Many attacks are petty and personal; I mean, who cares? How does it get investigated? Does it get investigated at all? Does the culprit at least get a warning? I'm sort of not sure whether I should keep filing reports with no feedback at all, or get me some dirty scripts and blast the bastards myself

past saterday, sunday monday and agains today (friday) I have been under investigation by E.I.G.H.T. (gevernance8.linden) eventho nothing was found the first 3 times and again today and nothing has changed. This makes me believe someone has been filing Abuse Reports against me, obviously without good reason, afterall nothing has been found all 4 days. Is there anything I can do against it besides filing an abuse report against E.I.G.H.T.? I have no way to know who filed an abuse report against me and for what reason as that information never gets shared. Just ignoring it is no option as the visits are very visible to anyone in the sim and is already causing people to spread rumours defaming my reputation.
