    Default Vote: Griefing Rules

    After much discussion I might aswell move this to a vote.

    Current Rule:

    1) No destroying anybody else's buildings without their permission, period. If by accident you destroy a block that is a part of a building you should replace it.
    Proposed Rule:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    You may not damage/destroy the land/buildings of others, except under the following circumstances, which are only in effect on the PvP server.
    - You have destroyed a few blocks revealing a hidden treasure room. Note that repeated damage to buildings without the both the intention and a reasonable chance of finding such rooms is indeed griefing. Such searching may only be done outside combat.
    - You have used blocks/other items to get yourself into a difficult to reach or impossible to reach position. This can only be done outside of combat, otherwise, only ladders are permitted, and defenders cannot be unreachable in accordance with other rules. Once you are finished, you must destroy all blocks you changed.
    - Note that there should be a reasonable attempt to find a legitimate means of access. These exceptions are only permitted if the player has already exhausted other solutions.
    These exceptions do not apply on the Builders Server. If you accidentally damage another player's building, that damage should be repaired as soon as possible.

    Use of transparant texture packs and/or deliberate glitching to reveal chunks, with the aim of either finding natural resources, or the resources of others, is banned. Due to the nature of such crime, it is ofcourse very difficult to prove this. However, this rule is here to indicate that such methods are regarded as illegal.

    Edit: Thievery on the PvP server is legal. The Golden Rule does not apply in this case, nor other PvP related cases.

    Technically, shouldn't the proposer of the idea abstain?

    Voted no, these rules aren't harsh enough for my tastes. And though I really hate the current system, the new system is probably going to make me hate it even more.

    I voted no because I really just don't like the idea of making certain griefing in certain situations permissible.

    Whatever happened to...

Under this system, would someone still be able to hide their treasures in a purely unnoticeable spot that has to be griefed to be entered, just without punishment of the griefer/treasure-hunter? I just want to make sure that there are still no restrictions on where you put your treasure and how accessible it is.


    Guess despite all my attempts to gain feedback, people seem to think that the current system, where the letter of the law states that coating a chest in dirt makes it impregnable, is better. Well, I tried.

    I hate the idea that people just stuff their stuff under 1 block and it is "untouchable".

    Voted yes as some form of amendment is definitely required. The server can't cry grief every two seconds.

    Perhaps I could have phrased it better, I dont have an opinion in this issue, therefore I 'do not care' about which way it goes

    Why would we even want to do that? You might aswell give your resources to us immediately if you don't want to store it somewhere.
