Why even bother reporting players for Griefing?

1: they can change their player name.
2: there's no popper way for server owners to handle them. The only way would be make them not able to build but even then they could just change their name and be able build again.
3: for all we could know is you hate the player and just want him of the server. Since you provided no evidence and also there's no way to track what players do on the server.

True. In minecraft griefers are not that much of a problem because you can set a server to only allow paid users. We don't have such a concept as paid users or a central authentication server.

The only thing you can do is either
a) Set up a server so that people on default cannot build or destroy anything and give them rights when they ask and you know they are not bad (and that they have set up a password so that no griefer can login as them)
or
b) Set up a server so that either nobody else than your friends knows about it OR set a default password to it which you only tell to your friends.

It might be possible to implement a history system which would allow an admin to select an area and ask the server to revert that back a certain amount of time. But that is not very high on the priority list.

That or Per Block Permissions as such so.

- World = Destroyable by anyone
- Player blocks = Destroyable by only that Player (And Admin's OFC)
-- This could also works a groups too so invite a Player into somewhat of a group so that they can destroy each others block for say group builds and such.


There many of way really that it could be handeled
