An employee of Linden Lab. Linden Lab employees are referred to as “Lindens” because most of them have that last name for their Second Life accounts. Some also have test accounts with the name Tester or bot accounts with the name LLQABot. Lindens who specialize in the community platform have the last name Moderator.
Lindens can have different administrative abilities in Second Life which exceed the abilities of regular Residents. Read more about it in the god mode article. All Lindens are asked to adhere to the Tao of Linden, many are hosting office hours, have houses in Linden Village and are giving their own Linden Bears to interested Residents.
Non-Lindens hired by Linden Lab
There are also Residents with the surname Mole. These are paid builders in the Linden Department of Public Works. However, these aren't normally referred to with the term "Linden", since they don't have any administrative powers.
A group of non-Lindens with administrative powers are members of the outsourced Distributed Network Operations Center (DNOC). Linden Lab hired the company Comsys to monitor the Second Life grid and to troubleshoot region issues. These Residents have the last name Comsys.[1]
Residents with the last name Cascadeo, are working for a company with the same name, which is hosting the Issue Tracker, as well as this wiki.
Those with the last names Scout or StarTek are assigned to support issues.
There are several shared Linden accounts for special purposes.
