Stalkers

Overview

Second Life is a wonderful place to meet people, work together on projects, make friends, find partners, and so forth, but once in a while you do get someone who will just not leave you alone, no matter how much you try to tell them that their attentions are not welcome.

Making FULL Use of the Abuse Reporting System

In order for Linden Lab to make full use of any evidence or reports you send in, please make sure you include all the listed items below. Without this information they are unable to act on or report to athorities or even to IPS providers.

1. Chat log complete with date, time, and what region you were in at the time. File each incident as it happenes and always include the name of the offender and mention it is a continuence so that LL is aware that it is ongoing.

2. A list of all Avatar's if any that you know of that the offender has used, or you suspect they are using. Be sure to include chat logs as proof. A he said she said will not do.

3. A list of other people who have reported the offender and be sure to include the AR ID's for EACH report filed.

Once you have filed all the AR's BLOCK the offender and all it's alt's that you are aware of and instruct your friends to do the same. Very important. If you do not you will only be adding to the problem. Stalkers can only be fueled by what is given to them so don't give them anything to use.

Be sure to ban the offender from all land you own. if the offender follows you around in places you have no control over.. AR and TP away. Do not attempt to say anything or acknowledge a stalker.. that only fuels them.. they are oppertunists so don't give them an opertunity.. just AR and leave.
