A recent (Sept 2007) sampling of Second Life Police Blotter data reveals that gambling outperformed both mature content and misrepresentation by a 50% margin and is now the leading TOS violation. Second Life residents who were cited for gambling received a 14-day suspension. Terms of Service violations represent only 26% of the disciplinary actions taken during this period. The remaining 74% were Community Standards violations.
