Getting Lindens out while suspended

What effect does account suspension have on your ability to convert your Linden balance into money?

As I have never been suspended, I don't know

i would think it's blocked if suspension work like a temporary ban

it would be only justice

You could setup a scripted object (before you are banned), and if you aren't seen inworld for a certain amount of time you can have an alt or a friend be able to goto the scripted object, enter a code (that you'd give them through real-life communication) which would give them all of your money or part of your money.

I'll whip up an example on how to do this and add it to my script examples pack!

I found this on the police blotter


Date: Wednesday, July 26, 2006
Violation: Community Standards: Violations using Alternate Accounts
Region: —
Description: Use of alt account to cash out Linden $ stolen through script exploit.
Action taken: Suspended 7 days.

Using an alt to get at the L$ may not be a good idea

The issue in that case seems the money was stolen, with an exploit no less. I'd wager that the alt part is a lesser matter.

You may be right, the blotter is very short, so it is a little hard to know the full reasoning behind it. Speculation is speculation, no matter who does it.

I believe the OP was talking about cashing out L$ during an undeserved/deserved suspension not related to the L$ itself. For some people who do a lot of development or work in SL, 3 days of suspension can put a big crimp in their cashflow if they can't access their L$.

If you are suspended and unable to access the SL virtual world but still able to log in to to the web site, can you get your Lindens out through the web site?

Pffft.

Try being banned like CrisM, lewis and myself have been. Well wait, I think lewis was just warned and was thrown out of all the helper/greeter/ teacher programs.

Anyway not sure, I never tried.

I don't see why not. When you come to the web page you are still logged in, you just can't actively particpate with the public.

If it was an exploit, then 7 days isn't even a slap on the wrist. That angers me too.

of course you guys did nothing wrong ^^

on the linden side it doesn't matter what you think, if they suspend you they prolly have a reason, being justified or not isn't the point

My post was in response to the "justice" bit.

Some people think chopping the hands off of a person is perfectly alright if they stole, even it it was just something to eat because they were starving...

Think about that for awhile.

In the event of a clear case of theft especially since they
need to use some complex method to achieve this end,
I think and auto ban is in order.

At least it would put things in perspective to some extent, regarding punishments.

I asked about this on the Second Life Answers forum a while ago. I was concerned weather purchases made from automated vendors in-world might produce profits for someone banned for griefing or other serious violations.

My post and Torley's reply is here.

It appears that if someone is suspended, their cash is available when they become un-suspended and are let back in. Torley's reply implies access to funds is also suspended while you are suspended.

I would think, however, that if they can still access the 'my account' info on the website, they might also be able to cash out their Lindens, though would be unable to sell off any other assets. But that is only an assumption on my part.

However, according to Torley's reply, if someone is banned, as in kicked out forever and never allowed back in, they lose access to those funds and in-world assets. If they were to appeal a ban, the assets likely would still be available. But while the ban is in effect, no cashing out.

Actually the exploit just allowed people to move an object they didn't own. At worst it was in their lost and found or they had to recover it from the sim. No one reporting the bug had evil intent and in fact, were trying to help all the sim owners who were bewildered over why their sims were being disassembled and why no one was saying a word about finding a fix or what was causing it.

No theft involved. 7 days was too extreme for that one poor person and 3 days was for myself, a formal warning would have been more prudent. Also if the system didn't ignore people in the past, who tried to report bugs the correct way, why would linden labs make an exploit hotline and offer 10,000L all of a sudden? they wouldn't would they?

I think I made my point.

As for theft exploits? Yeah... anyone stealing on a massive scale would be perma banned anyhow, I feel, so why muck with it?

Edit: unless there is another bug to blame for that 7 day... I think 14 would be more fair if you deprived people of money by selling their things illegally.
