The outrageous part of this is that the adfarmers who did not comply by removing their adfarms from the mainland by October 1st were sent a personal e-mail from Linden Lab and given another chance to comply.

But people working for free for Linden Lab were not extended this courtesy. No one from Linden Lab will even discuss this mess with any resident effected. We have all been completely ignored after receiving a 'no-reply' e-mail saying we were kicked out. And we were kicked out because the front line staff of Linden Lab made the mistake of rolling all volunteers into one group - then found it unmanageable. So instead of putting everyone back in their original groups - they decided to use this under-handed process to thin the heard (and had the gall to joke and giggle about it). Now they are making the Greeter group all over again and a Mentor Instructor group (replacing the old Instructor group) but they refuse to let the greeters to just go back to the group they were hand-picked and trained to be apart of.

Linden Lab has managed to take something as pleasant as volunteering and turned it into a nasty bit of sloppy bureaucracy.

The person manually sending out these e-mails to fire nearly 2,000 volunteers should be ashamed of themselves.
