It seems that the US DHS (Department of Homeland Security) is best suited to deal with griefers. Linden Labs seems to feel that they are no longer responsible, and we seem to have no other alternative.
Who knows if the "I am 13" people are real. What is real is the "Terrorist Threat Level" which is at Super Duper Red.
Does anyone have a contact in DHS?

It would be slightly pointless to contact DHS if the griefer is from outside the USA.
As far I know the DHS by it's very nature has no power outside of the USA! Besides both the DHS and such other agencies in the REAL world are already dealing with REAL life Terrorists who effect millions of peoples lives. Personally I really think they will not bother with a small group of greifers who only effect Second Life. Greifers are not terrorists by any streach of the imagination just sad people who cannot function normally in Second Life. |

Terrorism is something which, by definition, terrorises people... Does griefing in SL frighten you? (I mean the collective you here, not the qoted poster specifically) If so, please make an appointment to see a psycotherapist as soon as possible. Yes I can honestly say that girefers and underage kids does frighten me. One was fairly carefree in the old days. Yes there were events. But they were not that often. Now, I can honestly say, all joking aside that, yes, I living with dread and concern. What will be next? My attitude has changed as has many others. So were are being terrorized. Is there a good Dr in the house? |

This is why DHS sends them plane tickets to the US, so they can come over here and hunt with Dick Cheney. _____________________

His only problem was to call ex-President Bush a pansy while the NSA was monitoring his cellphone in a talk with his son... the rest is history! *giggles* Sav p.s. I don't subscribe to the post 9/11 bullshit that you can't joke about things. IF you have no sense of humor then the government already has done it's job on you by making you an emotionless mindless troll that does its bidding in the name of Liberty while it takes your rights & freedoms and tosses them one by one to the wayside in the name of security and safety for all. |

terrorism? you can't just throw that word around at everyone who pisses you off. come on people. you know this isn't terrorism, and you know your lives aren't in danger over this are they also nazis?Of course they are! I specifically have seen at least three griefers do the nazi salute and chant, "Sieg Heil!", and then cage several other posters, put them into concentration camps for having too dark of hair, and say something about perfect eugenics. Oh, wait, that was the dream I had last night. Woops. Anyways, I doubt the original poster was really *serious* about calling the Department of Homeland Security. I mean, I swear I saw at least one smiley there... |
