At approximately 7pm SLT, a resident with officer permissions invited several other people to the New Citizens Inc group, and proceeded to eject all non-member residents in the group, and change the group insignia to an inappropriate image - presumably for the sake of a couple of cheap laughs. The resident had not been invited into NCI as an officer, but joined using a group invite exploit several weeks ago.

Linden Lab stepped in quickly to correct matters, and the rogue residents were handled swiftly and professionally. At no time were NCI's funds or land assets in any jeopardy.

If you have been ejected as a member of the group, please do not take it personally. 655 residents were ejected from the group, and this was not - apparently a discriminatory process. Every non-officer member was ejected. We invite you to rejoin. NCI is an open enrollement group; you may rejoin anytime by using SEARCH > GROUPS > NEW CITIZENS INC > (SEARCH) and selecting JOIN NOW.

We do not anticipate any further problems with the group, and I apologise on behalf of the group officers for any inconvenience, disturbance or distress that this incident may have caused you.

When I saw SC's post, I went into live help and told the Lindens there what was happening. Was watching the list go down and then stop. Someone was kicked out... I have no idea who the rogue-officer was... but I'm assuming he's been handed over to the mafia and would meet a sweet and slow death.

Or he made an alt and is living happily.

But it's the mafia! You can run, but you can't hide.

Wouldn't the bad guy be a member of the Mafia, rather than being turned over to them?

My apologies to any Mafia members.

Like Carl said, any NCI members who got ejected, please rejoin if you wish. The ejection was an aberration, the NCI group is open join, just find it in the search dialog and click join.

No--we think it was a macro--they were ejected in only about ten minutes.
