I'm just asking if this is a feasible option for the Lindens... Have a few Lindens dedicated to just PvP abuse... They would do what they normally do but make a special Live Help for PvP Abuse that they could respond to... Or maybe something like the Mentor Program (Which I feel has failed it's original intention but that's a another whole post)... I'm looking for feedback from AV's that would like to better the SL world by giving up some of their time to help sort out the multitudes of PvP problems... There are many Lindens but they can't all help at once... Check credibility of each applicant of course... Anyways what do you think Lindens... Is this feasible???

Heh, I'd do that if I had more hours in a day... I have an extensive collection of weaponry, much of it watermelon-colored. ;) Realistically though, there are several things to think about:
  1. Our team of top-notch Liaisons help handle PvP incidents and many other inworld abuse problems too. HELP menu ---> LIVE HELP is where you can alert if a shooting is happening, you've already sent an abuse report, and it hasn't stopped.
  1. Assault in safe areas against the Community Standards, specifically--attracts a lot of attention because of the noise and fury. However, there doesn't appear to be much particularly compelling or radical about them which would call for dedicated specialization. We believe that ongoing abuse of different kinds should be dealt with efficiently; repeat instances more firmly so. PvP is actually easier on some fronts because it's so blatant and obvious... I mean geez, you see bombs go off, that's not as complex as a subtle violation of Disclosure.
  1. Continued education and better combat expansion in SL will help. Some new Resis want to shoot guns, but they simply don't know where, so they shoot up a non-combat sandbox. In response to this, bigger signs have been put up, and the land descriptions have been changed. PvP incidents still happen there, but they're by no means an epidemic, and claims of "I didn't know" are quickly squashed by all the advance warning.
