How can one report an underage player after the fact? The closest I've found is /108/ed/119629/1.html, which says to start with the report abuse menu, but that starts off with the sim owner, and besides, I don't remember the sim and can't find it again.

Unlike that other note, this was someone 17, though it was in an very adult area. We were actually having a mature conversation (so I'm pretty sure that 17 or older is correct), but I got a little too much real life info, including age. He said he had already done those things in real life, and I have no specific reason to doubt it. My first reaction was to let it go, for the typical reasons: too easy to get new account, he could well turn 18 before anything was done, and unlike a 13 year old, it seemed unlikely that he was being harmed by doing stuff in a virtual world that a lot of kids that age do in real life. For that matter, he could just claim it was a typo and he meant to say 18 - and perhaps it was.

But now I'm having second thoughts, and thinking that I should report it on principle. Not that I've changed my mind on the potential harm, but because I think rules need to be enforced fairly, and it sets a bad example if adults start ignoring this. It's the first time I've encountered this, and I'd rather build good habits instead of bad ones.

Thanks,

Not sure where you should report this, maybe contact a Linden through live help.
