From: Ilianexsi Sojourner I was just thinking about this statement again... wanting to make sure it's permanent, wanting to tie up any possible loose ends.
I hate to say it, and please correct me if I'm reading way too much into it-- but isn't this the avatar equivalent of committing suicide? Doing something on purpose to remove yourself permanently? Anybody else see it that way, or is it just me? Correct.. your not wrong. |

iDream seems to have gone silent. Perhaps he/she succeeded in said banishment? Maybe gave up and just added *.secondlife.com to killfile? All these questions and more... may never be answered...!  Ahhh, the suspense!

From: Jauani Wu you can ask LL to change your passwords. then you cannot log in again until you request the password. The point is, i want to die, i cannot die, if i can change my mind later. |

From: blaze Spinnaker False. Huh, I thought I remembered that last sentence being struck from the most recent version. Let me check some back threads. Good catch! Now, definitely send me your password, iDream - I'll change it, AND you'll be violating the ToS! -Flip

From: Surina Skallagrimson Is this limited to SL, or does it cross into RL as well? Either way, iDream, please talk to somebody right away... if these feelings cross over into RL, it's urgent that you do so. Even if it's only wanting to die in SL, this is showing a really deep level of unhappiness. Let us know what's happened, maybe we can help you work it out.

I've seen the same thing on IRC networks, on MU*s...usually caused by an emotional reaction by someone who thinks that everyone on the system hates them. Why these people cannot just 'stop connecting' is beyond me, but they always end up requesting to be banned. The success of such requests is based on the specific system's guidelines.
In the end, it's nothing more than a cry for attention because they 'won't' stop signing on, no matter how much they say they want to stop going onto the service. They give lots of reasons why banning is the only option for them. Everything from 'they don't want to change their mind later' all the way to a plain and simple 'I just can't stop coming! I need to be banned!'
In the end, extreme drama caused by out of control emotions. iDream? If it's that hard for you to just not sign on or uninstall the program and not look back...then it's about time that you sit back and start thinking deeply about yourself and WHY you can't. Addiction? Lack of self control? Or maybe...MAYBE...you actually like this place too much to give up on it completely? I don't know you, I don't know your specific case....but I've seen this wayyyy too many times. Uninstall, cancel the account, block ports, whatever...you have lots of options for stopping going to SL. If you cannot stop coming short of a ban, then you have other issues you need to address far and above SL.

iDream let me tell you something.
When I first came to SL, I made scripts which did alarms. The sales took off, and I put a sign up advertising my booming business.
My neighbour was really nasty to me about it and I felt wretched. I tore down my house and unrezzed all my prims. I gave up all my land, and flew into the night. I found a deep, dark pit in a river, and decided I would lurk down there, away from the nasty people in SL.
Then I figured I'd quit. Screw LL and Screw SL. They want to make me sad, they're not getting my money. Screw them.
Then some person, who I'm very sorry to say I've forgotten their name, invited me on a tour to show me some nice homes. They told me a bit about SL, and they were really nice to me. I went with them, and got my first nice home in SL.
Years later, I'm still here. The moral is, there are some bad actors in SL, I won't deny it. But stay awhile, you're in good company. There are plenty of doves amongst the crows. Whatever's got you down about SL, give it another chance. I have a little beach next to Ritch, it's on the corner of the sim next to it. It's inside a cliff. It has three beach towels on the beach.
If you want a quiet place to hang out, you can hang out there till you get yourself sorted. And if anyone bothers you there, I'll ban them from all the land I own, and abuse report them. And they will get some comeuppance from the Lindens for it, I assure you.
If you really want to leave, you could. But don't let some idiot chase you out of SL. Cause you have as much right as anyone else to be here. And I'm keen to hear where you are, you can come chat with me if you like.

From: iDream Rebel The point is, i want to die, i cannot die, if i can change my mind later. Assuming you are not simply trolling, this is actually an interesting discussion point. In other mmorpgs there is always a delete button that you can delete your character in seconds and its gone forever. I am not aware of such option in SL, but since SL is not considered a game, should you have the right to terminate your avatar? I am sure it can be coded easily into the system. Why would you want to do that of course is a RL issue, as outlined by Seleine above, that I think you should consider carefully and get some help. |

thanks for your help OK, now I'm worried.... iDream, if there's nobody else you can talk to, send me a private message and tell me what's really bothering you. Just right click my name and you'll find the link to do it. I'm happy to listen if you need to talk about whatever's upset you so much, or if you just want to vent. If I don't know how to help, I'll find you someone who can. I won't repeat or post anything you tell me unless you say I can. Whatever's hurting you, I promise you, just talking about it with somebody will make it start to feel better.

idream, it's hard for people to know how to react to your post. due to the anonymity of the internet, one doesn't know if you are serious, trolling, joking, etc.
that being said, if you are indeed serious, please let me know. i would be happy to talk to you in PM, IM, or email. not everyone is mean in sl. i've run across a number of a**holes, but there are just as many kind-hearted avies running around.

I can get you banned for hacking in 5 seconds Or just give you the UUIDs to a few teen grid people so that you can IM, cyber, give money or objects to them, the works. After a single warning, they will permaban you. |

If someone had had the courtesy of permabanning me a long time ago, my life would probably have been much better  Then again, I would probably just find something else to get addicted to. |

wee cry for help If you realy want to kick the habbit of sl you can go about it in one of 2 ways. Mod a pice of sl software to do somthing its not suposed to (crashing will not count ) or Insult a head of dept linden or dev team member, they have access to the database, you will soon not exsist Not Id advise you dont do any of the above and just unplug yourself from SL

You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy they are a positive boon.

Even if you get banned, you can open a checking account and credit card under a different name and go to a different area when you access secondlife.com to create the account. If they block your geographical region your could move. How could they stop you from creating a new account if you put your mind to it?

I can think of another possible motive -
Perhaps someone that no longer likes the real iDream had access to his/her account
And is getting revenge - By getting them permabanned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no reason to go beyond canceling an account - The Lindens are not responsible for a lack of willpower on the behalf of a resident.
Nor are they required to make it so a player can never again resubscribe.

There is a school of throught that the actual life of a person is only the core of their existence; it does not truly end until every ripple from every action they have ever taken is resolved, every person that knew them died. Therefore, with malice aforethought, I have proceeded to your in-world land and taken pictures of the house from every angle, with the Edit dialog open to show you as the creator. No need to thank me.
