JusticeFor those of you that don't know, Second Life has an abuse reporting system. Sometimes it works moderately efficiently - if, for example, there is evidence that a user is underage an AR (abuse report) can work within minutes. I know, I have seen it work that well with my own eyes. Those of you who have followed reports across from Second Life Insider may remember that I have been ARed, and I had one prim returned. Oh well.

The range of abuses reported in Second Life range from the extreme (being underage, paedophile porn) to the trivial (your tree is over the border of my land). Admittedly the latter should be cleared up by discussion with your neighbours, but it doesn't always happen that way - your neighbour may be an idiot, because you never would be, would you? This, undoubtedly, justifies a strong human element.

Bleeding Edge UI
Nicholaz Beresford, Barney Boomslang and Balp, between them, have released a U version of the Nicholaz Bleeding Edge Second Life client for windows, mac and linux.

All three of them add that this is an update that is very much optional, but seems to be quite stable. As with all other versions of the Bleeding Edge client the friends and IM windows are separated once again (pre-Chatterbox style). This particular version also adds the new search functionality. I have to say I have switched over, and having been initially a little cautious about it, I recently deleted my old versions of the client. I get stable, good performance, an UI I prefer and the new search all at once.

For those curious about the T-edition: it wasn't stable, although it is available for windows and mac if you insist.
