I request that Linden Lab cancel my account? Wait what? Yes my friend you've just been owned by Linden Lab. So you may be in denial and try to ask their customer support why? Until you realize that Linden Lab customer service can take days if not weeks to respond. So in your impatience you check your emails and find nothing, that's weird....
Out of desperation you click the Spam folder and there you find it, the infamous email with the title Second Life: Account Closure
You quickly open the email in the hopes it's just a misunderstanding, but the words are pretty damning and absolute Linden Lab has decided to close your account.
Horrified you read the lines
A few days pass and you come to terms with what had just had happened. The lindens finally respond a week later with the same copy-paste response as you already read in the email.
You try to appeal their decision but you soon realize you are probably just talking to a wall as all replies come back the same. If you are lucky some of the replies may ask you sensitive information while not allowing you to change your password or email during these requests. In other words your reputation could be tarnished by slander if someone hacks you while banned.
You accept defeat and request your USD balance to be paid out, but those bastards were two steps ahead of you and knew all your balance would be in Linden (LD) not USD. Not only have you been banned but also robbed. You think off all the ways you can burn down their facility because of the money they stole, but it's too late and they got the law on their side.
In your rage you send a few angry emails to those bastards but nothing helps, you are now spending your nights drunk and depressed. Your divorced now and somehow growing a beard. You cant go to work so you end up fighting with homeless people under a bridge for a place to sleep... True Story...
Moral of the story be smart and don't get banned.
Share your ban-story and If you all like and REP this, I might write a part 2
