I was dancing at a PG hangout when someone started IM-ing me, first a bit vague then decided to be frank and stated they had "an interest" in me. I was in my regular child av, no mistake about it. I wanted to file an AR but crashed before getting that far, but don't really know how to either. Any advise? There was no explisit language in the IM, but the type of "interest" seemed obvious to me.
Any advice?

If there was no explicit language, then you don't know for sure what their intent was. They did nothing wrong, as far as the rules go. Just ignoring them, or sayong I'm not interested in you should suffice. If they persist, then AR them for harrassment. It's not a crime in SL to talk to someone...yet.

Is it even AR'able?
 The ageplay policy only mentions sexual and/or lewd acts, advertising for or catering to such act, or anything that puts child avies in a sexual context. It doesn't really mention anything about someone approaching a child AV in that manner (doesn't mean it's not an offense anyway) so it could at most be harassment if they insist or are particularly obscene about it. |

True enough. One could argue it was innocent. So I guess an AR would be pointless then. The way the conversation went, with him trying to tp me and then as I asked why he insisted I contact him next time I was online answering "ok, i'm going to be direct about this- i'm interested in you".. High on the creepyness scale, no evidence.
I'll just settle for muting then. |

Next time search his pockets for a press badge. You might find one from SKY or Five so called news.

While not strictly against the TOS, I believe that LL is particulalry sensitive to this issue and under public/media pressure to police it. I think LL would appreciate a heads up.

Oh, I doubt it was "innocent", but doesn't sound like AR material. Yet. If he continues to proposition you, then you have grounds to AR for harrassment. But to be honest, it's better to just mute the creep and be done with it. Do everything you can to solve the problem before resorting to escalating it to the G Team.
