Today's Incident Report list is full of reports like this:
Violation: Community Standards: Violations using Alternate Accounts
Region: —
Description: Alt account abuse.
Action taken: Suspended 14 days.
14-day suspension is a big deal! It's the last step before deleting the account with prejudice.
What do people do with alt accounts that merits such an extreme reaction onthe part of LL? And how come there are suddenly so many of them?

Maybe one of those scary clusters under ponds and in skyboxes? If it was a shared sim and they were causing problems for the other Residents... And maybe they'd had prior warnings? Iunno.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things. Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut. |

I wondered too, when I saw that today. Maybe it's a crack down on the pod people!

or maybe it is someone getting around a ban, so they made an alt...

Alt abuse usually means you were suspended on one account and you log into SL with a different account to do the same violation.

make alt
... profit. I think it's making your alt work in your sweatshop creating DMCA violations for 2L/20minutes. LL takes Alt labor violations very seriously. If your alt tries to organize the other alts into a labor union and suddenly disappears mysteriously, LL will shut you down faster than you can say Jimmy Hoffa. _____________________

Probably using an alt to circumvent a ban. I, of course, have never done such a thing - nor have I ever used proxy IP addresses or fake HDD profiling. This would be an unconscionable thing to do. Yes indeedy.

Pics, or it didn't happen. Sadly the thread was deleted, but I successfully rickrolled atleast two people that I know of, so I call that a win. Good old rickroll - the old jokes are the.....oldest. It was all good-natured fun. _____________________

It actually got sent to Linden review for malicious content. I happened to see the mod's post right before it disappeared.  _____________________

Was that the one that Winter started about her message when she tried to log in? Geesh - I hope it wasn't my Letter from the Lindens that they considered malicious! I was just kidding, guys! Little joke there! No harm meant. Honest. _____________________

Little joke there! No harm meant. Honest. Yes, that one, but it was the link which was referenced, because it couldn't be shut down without going into the task manager or rebooting the computer...something like that. _____________________

I'd hate to get an actual Letter From the Lindens telling me to knock that s--- off. I really enjoy doing those and I would hope that LL has enough of a sense of humor to not shut me down. _____________________
