Abuse Reports

Sometimes I am asked if I have tried to file an Abuse Report about all this, I can only say that I did. When I do it I get an email back saying this (I have highlighted a few of the parts I am mostly interested in):

Re: Abuse: E:14946 P:1 |Lochme| (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lochme/169/59/23) [Harassment > Advert farms / visual spam] {Melanie Wandsworth (melaniewandsworth1)} "Spam sended by an object worn by an Ava"

Thank you for taking the time to submit a Second Life abuse report. If the reported incident violates Second Life's Community Standards or Terms of Service, we will take appropriate action.

What happens next?

If any further information is required, Linden Lab will contact you regarding this incident.

Will Linden Lab follow up with you after the investigation is closed?

Linden Lab examines each abuse incident independently and will not disclose the resolution of abuse/community standards violations with Second Life Residents, except when necessary to introduce a new or amended policy. Linden Lab will not disclose incident details including (but not limited to): identity of the reporter, details of chat logs, resolution of incidents, and/or suspensions/banning of Second Life Residents.

We hope that this will be the last of any unpleasant encounters for you inworld. If you continue to experience problems with a Resident, please file a new inworld abuse report for each new incident and we will investigate each report independently.

To file an abuse report while inworld, select Help > Report Abuse...
