Second life is well known for its opertunities and adventures. But
as soon as you get used to doing something SLAM it gets shut down!
Earlier this week i set off in the virtual world created by
linden Labs in search of something fun and addictive to do. I fount
the Xploder. It comes in a variety of different shapes and sizes.
Some in a shape of a pig, some a big sack of gold. I had noticed
along my way that there was two avatars with similar names, they
never spoke in open chat, they had no profile and both had maxed
out their groups. I thought this was suspicious. So i sent them
both a friendly IM posing as just a friendly avatar ( as i am ) and
to simply ask why thy have been a member for well over a year and
not one word on their biography. No response, i try a different
language using a translator ( French, German, Spanish and italian)
and still no response. i ignore this happenings for a few days
thinking to myself "their there again, why are they getting away
with this and walking away with all this L$"
The day is today, im in naughty isles in Second Life. The
time is noon local time. And i snap. Im in an open sim where
building rights is available publicly. I get my attack bar, i get
my carry away weapon and i launch in on both Dawidd Reinard and
Denyell Reinard (the two bots) And SLAM! Bang whollop. Im banned
from the sim, and not only that sim. Ohh no! It turns out the owner
is so into giving his hard earned lindens to bots that he tells the
whole sploder group intentionally try to sabotage my account
status.
By this time im outraged, im furious, i report both bots to
the linden labs via Help > Report abuse > Other and explain
their using alt accounts (Which is against TOS as their sold at a
one off fee of $9.95USD after your free one) Several hours after
making the complaint, no action taken. I still see the avatars in
question. Even as i type this i see them both in the Xploder im in.
The injustice that Linden Labs prefers bots is unbelieveable!
Surely something should be done to take these things off of Second
Life.
And as for the other sims im now banned from. Well, i guess
thats upto them. But if they feel jumping the gun into banning
someone from hear say is the right approach to things; then there
sadly mistaken.

Watch out for part 2 when i go undercover and take an in
depth look at the scams the 'noobies' of second life face when it
comes to camping chairs and small 'coinage' earnings.
