After clicking on a gate in the sandbox, I got one of those blue messages up at the top, my friend told me that it was a greif message. I hit ignore contstantly and it doesn't go away. The message:

Candi Fierenza's 'GOLDEN MERCEDES' NIGHTMARE DENCH HAS TAKEN CONTROL OF YOUR COMPUTER; YOU ARE A WASTE OF SKIN AND SHOULD GO BACK TO MYSPACE WHERE IT IS SAFE, YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT. OR YOU CAN RELOG FOREVERL YOU ARE LOST TO A WORLD OF CRAP.

And yes, I used her name and I could give a crap less if I get in trouble for invading privacy.

After trying to get it to go away I tried reloging twice, and it was still there. Tried the third time and got the message that I wasn't able to connect. It said to go to support and report the problem. However, I neglected to find a REPORT button as did my friend on the support section. So... tell me what to do. And avoid clicking on a white fence.

I think you will be OK in 5 hours time!

But generally, it takes a few minutes for your avatar to clear properly when you've quit from one of these sandboxes where there's this type of griefing attack. Next time you pull up the log in screen, click on the Edit button at the top of the screen, go into preferences, click on general, and select the option to log in at your home point, and you should be OK. You won't log back in at the sandbox.

Unfortunately the griefer's name that you quoted might not actually be the actual griefer. They've "cleverly" designed a script that shows someone else's name other than their own. To see the real creator you would have to click on that name in the chat window, and the real person's profile would come up (and I would guess it would be a 1 or 2 day old alt!). These are all too common in world currently.

Let us know how you get on later via the forums please.
