It would be nice if we could easily file ARs on suspended/banned accounts. Closing this issue. Duplicate of SVC-572.
Alexa, SVC-572 is a vague issue about a possible exploit. This is about accounts getting banned.
SVC 572 also mentions the offender causing trouble while not showing in search. indicating that they can't have been banned at the time. Therefore, this issue is not a duplicate of SVC 572. I'm reopening it, as it's the best existing issue I can find for the problem of banned accounts not showing in the person chooser. and given I can't ban Gene Replacement from my sandbox, it's safe to say this is still an issue
The issue here is that suspended or inactive accounts don't show in search. Here's a scenario where this can be a problem:
1. Griefer launches a grid attack of incredibly offensive objects. This is a very common scenario on the mainland, especially near the sandboxes. Yesterday, me and several others had our content stolen. I do not know exactly the extent of that, but in my case, what I could see was that the abuser (arnauld Omuzi) basically became me (Copybot? Cryolife?) assuming my shape and all textures (skin and clothing) I had on, except for prims.
I filled an abuse report in time, however others couldn't. He or she,had already deleted the account and people couldn't send an abuse report due to not being able to find in search his or her name. This is a clever tactic. Use an alternative account to copy content, most likely keeping the content in .xml in the hard drive (then importing it into SL, which was what this person did) or sending it off to another account and then deleting it once the job is done to make it impossible to be reported. I've upped the priority on this to critical, because as i've stated in the edit I did above on the description, if this becomes profilic, there's no way of investigating abusers of this type. |

There is currently no such thing as Live Help, which was later renamed to Help Request.
Abuse reports can still be filed from inworld.
I'll reword this a bit and link it to an internal issue...
