Hi Own,

You need to be a Premium member in order to contact live help. If you are a Premium member, just "submit a ticket" in the help portion of the website:

https://support.secondlife.com/ics/support/security.asp

You'll need to keep clicking through "my answer is not here" until you get a choice to talk to Live Help.

Solution Finder, not the ticket link.

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 had a serious problem earlier this year and submitted a live help ticket. I had a series of emails from Bif and Brad and Thad. It wasn't long before I realized I had been outsourced. No problem - outsourcing is a fact of modern life and has many advantages. What became seemingly apparent to me though was that they couldn't solve this particular problem and were very hesitant to refer the problem to a higher level. If it hadn't been for the experienced and good people on these forums, I don't know when the problem would've been solved. One problem with outsourcing is that they think to justify their services they can't *quickly* refer problems back to the people who hired them. The hiring authority may be happy with that approach, but the consumer perceives incompetence.

Kinda what we've been telling them for a while. Silly to hire people that haven't ever logged into SL and make them do simple things like diagnosing a 'rinse and repeat,' problem. A good CS person know when to pass the buck and an even better one does it in a heartbeat.

Okay.. that sounds lazy and incompetent too, darn it. But it's much easier to help others if you've used the product and can say immediately, "Gee, I already know that what I'm telling them to try isn't gonna work, why not just ring up a tech?" Networking code isn't something a regular liaison is going to be able to 'fix,' after all. Nor an asset server going all splodey.

I'm still not happy with the CS team.. there is no real form of communication there.
