Stay anonymous
Don’t ever tell anyone online your “real life” information, including your real full name or your parents’ names, home address, school name or location, phone/mobile numbers, social security & credit card numbers, or anything that shows what you look like such as a photo, video or webcam link. For your safety, we do not allow other users to search for you by age or any other personally identifiable information, and it is important to keep this information private. If someone asks you for this info, don’t give it to them! Report the incident inworld at Help > Report Abuse.
Keep your password to yourself
Friends don’t ask friends to share passwords. If you give your password to someone, they will have access to all of your account information and your inventory items. Not to mention, you’ll be held responsible for anything they do while using your account. Linden Lab employees will never ask you for your password.
Don’t respond to nasty comments or actions
If a mean or inappropriate comment or action is directed at you, then the best thing to do is ignore it and report it inworld at Help > Report Abuse.
You can also "Block" users from that user's profile window to ignore their chat.
Users can block other users using the control features at the bottom of the other user's profile. After clicking the arrow show in the picture, select Block from the menu that appears. In addition to ignoring chat, blocking also prevents the user from:
- Communicating with you via text and voice chat.
- Communicating with you via objects they own; blocking extends to objects, too.
- Sending you inventory items.
- Showing you particles and sounds emitted from their avatar's attachments and inworld objects.
- Exchanging friendships with you.
Protect your privacy
| Controlling your inworld privacy is an important part of maintaining a safe Second Life experience. To set your privacy options, choose Me > Preferences > Privacy from the top menu bar in the Second Life Viewer. | |
  | |
| You can limit voice calls and Instant Messages to only those who you have designated as Second Life friends, or to groups you have joined. Check Only friends and groups can call or IM me: |  |
| You can also allow only Second Life friends or groups to know that you are currently in Second Life. CheckOnly friends and groups know that I am online: |  |
| And you can make your profile unsearchable by other users. |   |
Trust your instincts
If someone makes you feel uncomfortable or threatened, use the "Block" feature in that user's profile window, and report them inworld at Help > Report Abuse. If you ever get really scared, then you should log off immediately. Don’t worry about seeming rude. If someone is making you feel uncomfortable, then they are the ones being rude. Remember, in Second Life the exit is always only a click away.
Keep your parents in the loop about your Second Life
Tell your parents about your Second Life friends and your favorite things to do inworld. Show them around every now and then. Don’t be afraid to ask for their help when you need it.
Never meet offline
Your Second Life friendships should stay inworld. Never meet any of your Second Life friends offline unless you are attending an official Linden Lab gathering with your parents. If you have any further questions, you can contact us through the Second Life Support Portal.
