Well first off this is not my main account, to lazy to switch, but I got a very good question. Over the last few days something big went down and has caused alot of harassment to be thrown around and at me. I'm sick of it and I want to report it, but funny thing is this...

THE REPORT ABUSE HAS A LIMIT ><

I'm only half way through reporting what was going down, when I found out I was out of room. So what can I do, or is there a way for me to talk to a linden face to face and explain everything?

Tell the story shorter.

In answer to your questions....

a) not enough space: be concise

b) talk to a Linden: have a nice wait for AgonyAunt Linden - bring a magazine with you

c) "explain everything": bring popcorn - to share of course


Somewhat fascetious, but still a nugget of helpfulness there I think

*bump on what Lindal said*

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you're not telling the story to the comforting ear of a friend, but to a Linden who's skimming over dozens if not hundreds of ARs in a row and who only cares about clear facts with as little drama attached to them as possible.

Be concise and focus on actual abuse: "XXX keeps orbitting me" instead of "Well, XXX was a long time friend who recently fell out with B and then I get stuck in the middle and we were at this club we always go to.......".

(The first wouldn't actually be a great AR since it lacks time, place, etc but just to show that you don't need to go into details, just focus on whatever is happening that violates the CS)

Well kitty, theirs more than one person at fault in the matter .. and its just a huge mess. So I can't trim it down or leave 95% of it out and leave just the 5%

As hard as it may be, you have to pare it down as much as possible. A good report should contain the Who, What, Where, and When. people usually try to add in Why, and How, which usually is speculation at the beginning. Give the basic facts, and LL can always contact you for more info if needed.

The only other option is if you or a friend are on a membership level that allows some sort of enhanced support, ie Premium, Concierge.

If you think of it as a police report and not an argument before a jury the chances are that LL will pay attention if you were truly wronged.

if there was more than one offense make more than one report per offense.
if it was just one offense keep it short and to the point.

Just send your AR to the recycle bin and cut out the middle man.

Everyone knows you need at least 20 friends to file AR's with you to get LL's attention these days.

Either that or start your Ar like

"ZOMG Sexual Ageplayz!! ...

Is bad, but my problem is actually with xyz."


That would wake them up out of their Tao induced stupor.

Most people don't have 20 alts to support them. :)
