First way: Be a troll and votekick the people trying to votekick you. This one's only if you don't care about how childish you will seem.

Second way: This one stems from an earlier thread on griefing and a wonderful word called schadenfreude, which describes please gained from causing others distress. Kaede-Chan pointed to this as a motive for griefing, but some other people objected and said that wasn't the case at all. Here's a chance to prove her wrong.

Enter a server hosting a map you wish to grief. I recommend the SuperCool building server, there's a lot of elaborate structures to destroy. Press [F1] to save the map to your computer.

Now take that map and host your own server running that map. Title the server something appropriate for the occasion, like "<yourname>'s Free Grief" and open it to the public. You may now destroy things for the sheer hell of it without causing anyone else undue distress. If you host with PySpades, you can godmode people so that they'll never run out of ammunition or grenades, for a really fun time breaking stuff into small pieces.

Somehow this has never caught on... which is why I agree with Kaede. Still, the idea is out there, so if you ever really just want to blow stuff up, there is a way to do that without being a complete jerk.

As you guys know griefers can be very annoying, but griefing teams absurd you might say NOT. "Team Fatal Impact" is the name they griefed me and some friends just in the past 15 min. We had an awesome base well some of you will just say go to Minecraft, we were not hurting anyone, but suddenly we noticed a large group of people moving towards our area, and then Boom! Griefers everywhere, griefing like there's no tomorrow we couldn't stop them. The group was about 5-8 people big. Then they left with saying "I hope you enjoyed, Love Team Fatal Impact." I couldn't remember the name since I was in so much rage. I hope you guys are safe from this team. Oh the server was Aloha uswest hallway so I hope people see more into this problem. Thx for Reading!

Ben, would it be at all possible to make some sort of editor-placable indestructable block? I realize this would mean recoding the game AND the editor, which will be a huge pain the <redacted>, but ultimately I think it would really add to the gameplay.

As it is now, everything is destrucable. That can be fun, but griefers can quickly ruin the whole thing by levelling entire buildings, mountains, fortresses, etc.

With Pyspades, all preexisting blocks can be made indestructable. This protects structures somewhat better, but the cost in terms of fun is immense. No tunnels, no dug-in bunkers, and no trenches makes for a run-of-the-mill shooter. Alternatively, tunnels, bunkers, and trenches can be pre-built, in which case they're indestrucable and thus overpowered.

Imagine, however, that map creators could make building frames indestructable, and then add destruable walls. This way, map creators could make maps where core mechanics remain unchanged throughout the server's runtime. Mountains with a thick layer of dirt over impenetrable rock could put an end to the dreaded "levelled" maps. Castles with solid rock walls, and skyscrapers with solid, ungriefable frames are just a few possibilities.

This could add a bit of realism to the game, since standard real-world entrenchment tools have their limits as well. It may or may not be worth the trouble to implement, but I'm just throwing this idea out there for consideration.

They griefed my wall and after repeated attempts to ask them to stop, they continued to grief me.

In retaliation, I started griefing their stuff. After awhile, I was banned.

aloha uswest pinpoint: Hypocrites.

Voteban with only 5 votes. Permaneately get rid of griefers from all servers = Ace of Spades becoming my favorite game.

There are some people that walk into a match and start destroying stuff, but then there's when people that they notice their team is just failing. So what do they do they switch teams and destroy everything, then switch back. I think the the ability to switch teams is a mechanic that should be taken out, or allowed only one use.

There has got to be something we can do to stop this. Or at least limit it in some way. Every map I go to, half of it get's destroyed by griefers. Vote kicking and team killing doesn't work at all. I killed a guy over 20 times and he just kept going. His name is Papsmir by the way. Can't we add some kind of rule or something that if they get teamkilled enough that they get banned? Please?? This problem is becoming unbearable and makes the game so much harder to enjoy.

I fuckin hate griefers, and im probably not the only one. There should be an ability to "lock" blocks, making them indestructible. So then i build my giant chairs without them getting griefed

Does this happen to you?

You're one of those players who like to build bridges and towers. But you can't play because Griefers take joy in demolishing what you build?
