Dissapearing alts.

As all of my alts are apparently deactivated somehow, including the one that has close to four hundred dollars in L$ from donations to the freebie fund.

Main is fine. Just my alts. All tell me to reactivate with the website, when I go to the website I'm told to call customer support.

Which is, ofcourse, off right now.

Might explain why when I visited a sim yesterday that normally has a group of camping items, there were no campers there.

Maybe LL are cutting out the camper alts which haven't paid the fee for extra accounts.

But if that is the case, why didnt llabs warn those that abused system? Instead of just canceling then out.

Because that would require them to actually communicate with people! Heaven forbid they do that!!!

Except that all my alts were paid for and had the same info between them. hrug:

I can also confirm now that it's not just incorrectly reg'd alts.

Joshua is the person who lost all 3 of his alts in this manner at the same time.

I feel the need to bring this topic up again, as it is very important to all residents of SecondLife.

More alts are dissapearing without explaination by the day.

It is affecting people both with legitimate accounts, non-legitimate, ones with the same info, ones without.

There is no rhyme or reason. Several Lindens in-world have confirmed there is a script running doing this. We need closure.

A script by a resident? or a script by LL?

Thats a BIG question

That would be a fairly massive security issue if we were talking about a resident LSL script..

/me suspects it's a back-end automation script that's gone insane.

I don't mean 'script' as in LSL, I mean an automated process by LL working on the database finding and removing accounts.

agreed but I seem to remember reading about someone who was selling a service on SL Exchange that could remove any AV PERMANENTLY for 100k.

The 2 events coming so close together makes me wonder a bit.

What Ethan Linden told me on the phone was that somehow their records show me as having nine accounts. I do not and have never had nine accounts. I have had a grand total of five accounts. One that is my main, another I use as regularly as my main and is crucial to my money management, one (the missing one) that is logged in and used weekly since she was created, and two that were for one time events and never used again after that.

I explained that to Ethan and he only directed me to the support services again and told me that he couldn't help me because it's not what concierge is supposed to be for, not under his power.

He said that they are deleting accounts belonging to people who are registered as having more than the accepted limit or who have not been properly registered. The problem with that is that the one they deleted WAS properly registered. It turns out now that they have deleted all but my main and (thank god!) my banking one.

In my last (and third) email, I posed these questions:

A) Can my Crazy Jewell account be reinstated?
B) Why was I not sent any email or warning of any kind that the account
was about to be disabled?
C) Related to B, why was I not given the option of choosing which accounts
to have disabled and which ones to keep? Why was I not given the ability
to let you know which accounts were important to me and which weren't?
D) Is this the doing of some automated system or the work of actual people
choosing which accounts to delete and which to leave? I find it curious
that I know several people who have multiple accounts well over the limit
and have not had any trouble and others who are not over the limit and
have been deleted?

Whether or not they'll ever actually answer remains to be seen. And so far the only phone call that has gotten through to an actual person was through the concierge and as Ethan said, they can't help.
