Storing Second Life Incident Reports, September 2009 Stats

Tyche Shepherd reports on storing Second Life Incident Reports and she has published many awesome graphs of her findings on sluniverse.com called what did the naughty people do?. There is alot of interesting data and information in this thread. It’s worth checking out.

There is an Official LL Incident Report page on the SL website which displays the top 25 recent disciplinary actions taken by the in-world Goverance Team. Don’t forget to go to the Help menu and Choose Report Abuse to report incidents etc always!

In total I now have data which seems complete from 7th Jun 2007 up to the current time, at the moment this comes to 21, 665 published incidents.

Firstly I should point out published Incident Reports are only those AR’s which have been resolved and where a warning or suspension has been made. It doesn’t seem to cover bans or suspensions due to account issues or the other strange reasons Lindens use to suspend people.They also cover Teen Grid as well as the Main Grid.

Big fall in published incident reports at the beginning of this year.

There are 91 unique types of violations in total, the most common was Community Standard: Assault, Scripted Objects which covers 3654 incidents

Very little suprises with Public Help Islands, Sandboxes and Info-bubs dominating the list, with No Specific Region being the most common. Help Island Public hosts over 4% of all published incidents.

52% of published incidents result in a Warning, the rest in a suspension of 1 to 14 days.

There were only 2 published copyright infringement violations which resulted in a ban of 14 days (there were 17 in total across the period)

I must stress that these figures are only the Published Incident Reports, people say there are plenty of resolved AR’s which don’t make the Blotter and they certainly don’t include any bans which do occur or suspensions for other reasons (account issues, activity which triggers money laundering detection etc) so it’s difficult to draw concrete conclusions about the whole AR process from them .

Great job, interesting stats. :)

Now over to you, what do you think about the graph data ?

Linden Lab releases figures of the scale of Second Life

Tateru Nino who is a SL writter for SL Massively has published interesting statistics relating to the scale of Second Life.

Approximately 1,250 text-based messages are sent every second in Second Life. That’s 108 million messages per day and more than 600 million words are typed on an average day.

Wow that’s alot of messages and words.

Roughly 60% of active Second Life Residents are based outside of the US, representing more than 200 countries, and the Second Life Viewer is available in 10 languages.

That’s interesting that only 60% are based outside of the US. 10 languages is great and room for more in the future.

In total, users around the world have spent more than 1 billion hours in Second Life. That’s roughly 115,000 years spent doing everything from meeting and socializing with friends; to attending live concerts; to creating, selling, and shopping for virtual goods

SL rocks

The total land area of Second Life is now equivalent to approximately 2 billion square meters – roughly the size of the state of Rhode Island.

Giggles, hasn’t it grown alot over the years. Interesting image!

More than 18 billion minutes of voice chat have been used in Second Life since voice was introduced in 2007. More than 6 billion minutes of voice have been delivered in 2009 alone.

Wowwww

Users create more than 250,000 new virtual items every day. There are now more than 270 terabytes of content in Second Life, and this is growing by approximately 100% every year.

Yay, for SL content and storage. LOL

The average session length (time between login and logout) is given as 100 minutes per visit.

I spend alot more than 100 minutes in-world these days. When I joined SL it was like 15 minutes or so, but that was when I was a newbie. HAHA

New sims in the past week

Tyche Shepherd last year on SLUniverse Forums launched a new service called New Sims in the past week which will keep residents updated on new sims, snapshots of new sims, sims that are no longer on the grid along with grid wide statistics. I’m still amazed to see it running today and the stats are very interesting indeed.
