Every other damn day, I go to on of my stores and I have insane spam jumping off, boxes with NIGGER, TMNT, Bill Cosby, trying to animate my avi, locking me up and sometimes I can't even return for ? 30 minutes or so?!?!
I've been running a business in here for the past 3 years, I pay my rent, feed my two children the whole nine!!
I don't know what Abuse Reporting is doing?!
I mute, ban, blah blah blah, and guess what, yep HERE IT IS AGAIN!!!!
I've been screwed out of rather profitably contracts to include the likes of NBC Universal and a few other, WTF?! The lag is rediculous, ever update is a step back, is anyone over there giving a F&*%?!?!
Now you've got your billion dollar big companies to knob on so F US who BUILT THIS THING?!?!?!
You can hide behind a signed TOS but so long, inaction as we know here in American law can be just as bad as perpetuating the events themselves.
Independents like myself are taking a lose here and your response?! MOVE ALL YOUR MONEY OVERSEAS SO "WE" HAVE TO PAY ADDITIONAL FEES?!?!?
We'll class action law suits have a way of finding people who who think they're too big for their own britches, ask Bill Gates.
BOTTOM LINE: What do WE the residence have to do to try to continue using this platform without stuff like "F*** YOU N******!!!" all over the stinkin place?!?!
I'm sure there's someone out there who would love to drop them all over all of the Linden's playlnd and see how long it continues to be a problem then I wonder?!
I'm a 3d animator RL, this should be the dream job of a lifetime, should be, but do you have any idea how embarassing it is to talk this place up, have a business partner come over to see what all the hype is, and watch me lagout with a bunch of N----- boxes all over my property.
And so we don't get things too wrong, there's are obviously equal opportunity assclowns out there, I've had the "F* JEWS" boxes as well.
OR DO I JUST THROW 3+ YEARS AWAY BECAUSE?!?! These things aren't as important as, Sony, Paramount Pictures, Toyota, Scion, GAP, etc.. etc..?!?!
Yeah, Thanks Philly >:[
WOULD LIKE AN ACTUAL ANSWER HERE AS WELL!!!!
We can all bitch and moan, I think most of us would prefer a viable solution so we may continue busting out asses!!!

And seeing how my property is currently being spammed, i can't even abuse report it because it wants to animate you and you can't even type, WELL I GUESS I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT SIT HERE AND WAIT FOR A STINKIN ANSWER!!!
This is extremely frustrating, so with my >:| free time maybe i should talley up how much this is costing me, maybe we all should?!?! figure how many times you've come in for a 10 "product placement" and two hours later are still trying?!?! Times how many of us now? 9 mil? at a few hours a day, at minimum wages I think we're still well into the millions. Courts in the US usually don't take to kindly to big companies, ripping off all the little people.
You'd be shocked how much time is wasted in here, and time, being money, some of us are REALLY GETTING SHAFTED!!!
Now I know this is not LL themselves, obviously, let's not play stupid, it the individual jackass, but you'd think LL would sooner, or EVEN LATER HINT HINT, like any fricken time now, step up to the plate and do something. But I think they've pretty much told us all where their priorities are!! (getting that cash to an overseas bank)
oh well, probably all on def ears, bet we don't get any resemblense of an answer, but I'll probably get banned just for bringin it up!!
WTF EVER, *goes to pack up his store OH WAIT, I can't get in that's right........

I'm really sorry to hear that this is happening to you.
All I can offer is that if you need a good place to show to potential sponsors, you are welcome to bring them to my sims (non commercial Art Colony) which are beautiful Mainland or maybe you can show them Caledon or the Greenies sim.
It sounds you have become a target so it might be best to show them other parts of SL until you get your place sorted out again.
I don't know why it takes LL so long to respond (if at all). For SL to survive into the next level, we are going to need many K of people to visit to see what we have built here and to buy our goods. We need that next mass immigration of new folk who are looking for entertainment rather than creating content. The horrible kind of griefing you are describing can create bad PR that could silently corrode SL for the short and long term. Like ignoring the termites in your foundation...everything looks fine if you ignore the small sounds and then your house falls down.
For some reason, LL can't deal with its termites.

Where are these objects appearing? If they're appearing within your store, have you considered setting create objects, scripts and object entry to group only? Also, if every part of your build is set to the same group as your land, then you can enable auto-return, set it 1 minute and will clear unwanted items off your land (great for a spring clean of lost objects too).
If they are appearing on neighbouring parcels, but it does not appear to be your neighbour that is doing this then you may wish to try and contact them to do the same.
Lastly, you can try filing a support ticket, stating that you have sent abuse reports that have not yet seen any action, this may expedite matters.

Awww, Thank you kindly Dnali  I wholeheartedly appreciate the offer. However, seeing as I am paying $295 US A MONTH FOR THIS!!!, you can imagine that is an unacceptable solution. As well, while i can't even log in, MY STORES HAVE CUBES WITH "FUCK NIGGERS" ALL OVER THEM, so anyone unfortunate enough to want to come buy any product from me at one of these locations will get a gift of spam boxes, "Whoever" wants to animate your avitar(which makes it even immpossible to abuse report because you can't TYPE anything!), and they will either crash or have to log out, at which point it may be a while for them to log back in!!! Is this what I'm paying $295 US dollars for?!?!!?!? I use security measures then I get a Linden deleting my stuff because it's "spamming" people?!?! Had my stuff copyboted, again had a security thing for that, again a Linden deleted it?!?! Have we all become "targets", more like ...uh?!? MARKS?!?! But again thank you sincerely, I really don't expect anything from anyone, especially at LL, basically trying to see if a "resident" may know of a a possible solution, Lindens aren't up to it, evidently my $295 a month is insignificant compared to the corporates that they've "targeted" to get in here? But I'll stop by to hang out, when i can get back in and get this crap off my land  TY D!

The supposed "anti-copybot" products were in fact fake - it was shown to be useless within hours of the first copybot, but people have kept on selling the things, which should be punished in my opinion (but my opinion counts for little). All they did was, indeed, to spam people with "!quit".
But yes, the whole thing is terribly annoying, I quite agree, and I have nothing but sympathy. Even in Caledon we have griefers; somebody made... improper suggestions to me earlier on just today (likely he was not aware that I was an Estate Manager, and thus he was not there for long). It is all an utter pain.

Thanks Haravikk and Orndinal, btw SUP Ordinal  P long time! Yes Haravikk, excellent points! And have done this as well, this perticular one I think is coming off surrounding area, (yes it's not just me here crying LOL). This one has the "ask animation" thing attached to it, prompting the "Blue Menu", since it's continuous, this stops you from inputting characters into line fields, UNTIL the "Bleu Menu" is answered, being spam this is not possible unless your equipped with a bionic Six Million Dollar index finger! Which I am not! ^^^ But this is really what we're looking for, helpful suggestions, yes I love to B-n-M, but I loved it a lot more when I could actually get something done, and like ya know, feed my kids >:| True dat Ordinal, I know of all the bogus "Copybot Stoppers" point here is not a single thing I know of that came from LL at that point, to help the residence, one of us had to figure it out! THAT IS MY FRIEND, in a word?! BULLSHIT!!! Fine they didn't work, what was LL's assistance? just delete your stuff, no warning, and no alternative suggestions to protect yourself? Though not as worried about that one, I at least could still work! The current situation, coupled with the buttdates... er "UPDATE" yeah that's what they call themselves doing over there, is really getting TOO OUT OF CONTROL, and Linden Labs usual lack of interest and inaction is really getting OLD!!! LIKE REAL OLD THERE LINDENS!!!! And yeah I been around since '04, so trust me when I tell you i've been here for EVERY SINGLE BUTT.. ahhh UPDATE!!! NOW, as not to be too harsh, or more like as not to leave out those "TRULY responsible", the jackass themselves who seem to have limited intelligence and too much time on their hands!!! As always those few bad numbnuts ruin it for us all, Linden's included (I won't pretend like LL is intentionally shafting us, amazing product and technologies, to be highly commended, but having a Golden Shaft that spits blanks, well, yeah we know what that's good for!!! Recap for all, the important stuff: Haravikk Mistral: 1)setting create objects, scripts and object entry to group only? 2)Also, if every part of your build is set to the same group as your land, then you can enable auto-return, set it 1 minute and will clear unwanted items off your land (great for a spring clean of lost objects too). 3) If they are appearing on neighbouring parcels, but it does not appear to be your neighbour that is doing this then you may wish to try and contact them to do the same. 4)Lastly, you can try filing a support ticket, stating that you have sent abuse reports that have not yet seen any action, this may expedite matters. Thanks again you guys, tried these already Har'  Anyone else?, if we have to find the answers on our own, so be it, nothing new here folks.

$295 a month is buying you simulator usage and not much more. But as already pointed out, the lindens have already given us the tools to take care of these problems on our land.
Use the land permissions system. It is criminal that people don't. If everyone set thier land permissions correctly then there would be very few instances greifing like this.

There isn't much of a solution for those of us on the mainland sims. If even one tiny stretch of land, public or private, is set incorrectly, all the neighboring sims can suffer from griefing.
