A Warning to Private Shop Owners and KittyCatS! owners!!
A website group of griefers are targeting kitty owners/shops are are griefing the regions they are in. My region has been targeted twice, most recently today and another owner in the next region was targeted as well. When you go to these places you see nasty objects and will get multiple nasty pop ups that require you to log out to get rid of them. I have attached a file that lists the profiles to mute so you do not see those messages. Thanks to Texture Sculpt Mesh Prefabs for this list.
It's suggested you turn off building, objects and scripts to only group so they can't rez objects on your land. If there are objects on your land go to About Land>Objects and hit the "Refresh" and it will show any objects. You can there, return those objects on your land that are unwanted. Unfortunately they will be able to still do it around you if any of your neighbors or any abandoned land have those settings enabled. Also, report it. LL told me to put Governor Linden as the reported person because these people will delete the profiles used after griefing. Include a snapshot of the objects if you can.
We all need to band together so to speak and that's why I'm posting this.

NP!!! I have decided to move my shop cause of this. I need a safe location. Our kitty comrades do NOT deserve this!! I hate that it has come to this but I can't keep on there. Just too much drama with it. I even got messaged by someone saying they won't stop. I reported it but unfort. the account has been deleted and LL can't do anything about it.
RE: A Warning to Private Shop Owners and KittyCatS! owners!!
Its been a long time since I have encountered any griefing activity.
I remember back in the day, when ghastly prim replicators spewed across the land,
we used to be able to IM a Linden, by name, and they would fly in and fix
the problem within a few minutes.
Sadly, such instant customer service you could get in 2004 no longer exists.
What exactly is the motivation behind this latest wave?
Is it a personal attack or do they just HATE THE KITTEH?
Are they po' folk who cannot afford the kibble
and thus their own kitteh is under the indian blanket with a thermometer in their mouth?
Most likely, due to the tech savvy requirements needed to pull of such griefing stunts,
they are simply scripters who are envious of those who have created something lucrative,
while they themselves are floundering about with the mere ability to create an annoying pop up.
Booooooo! Shame on them.

@ Winter: Well, at first I thought it was an attack on kitties. They are a group of people who have a copybot website and are using banned viewers capable of griefing. Texture has a shop near where I used to be. Then my friend got griefed by the same people. Different avatar of course. There were horses on the parcel two over from her AND she also lives next to Gothica. So right now, it seems they are targeting animal owners.

When looking for motivation, this can make sense.
If you have lived a nice quiet existance in Anytown SL,
and you sit in your armchair and watch the sunsets,
and then one day somebody moves in next door
with 50 cats and lags your house down to mollassas,
you may become a kitteh assassin.
In lieu of that dramatic scenerio,
I was in a toy store last night.
A TOY STORE,
where the artisan really made some nicely crafted stuff,
and I was wandering around checking out the place.
and this guy in a gestapo uniform crashes into me,
calling me a variety of jewish, black, gay, racist terms,
even though I am technically none of the above,
some kind of twisted neo nazi running around harrassing simply ANYBODY,
(who are not even the source of his misguided rage!!),
in a TOY STORE.
Soooo. What Im saying there is that...
some freaks simply do not need a reason to be a total @$$#0Le.
They just get off on it.
