Griefer

What is a Griefer?
A Griefer is a person in a PvP/Server whose intention is to destroy or ruin people's houses, creations, General play, and fun. These people make the Terraria experience less fun for you.

Always be on the lookout for griefers, or anyone who is displaying traits that are constant between griefers.

If they kill you or have griefed you, you won't lose your items but take notice that you can lose some coins. If you see or have a griefer on a server, ban or kick him out or tell an Administrator.

One tactic many griefers use is to spam dynamite to ruin creations and kill NPCs.

Others include murdering players, stealing loot, disobeying rules, swearing, and just being nuisances.

One popular Method to grief is to fill the spawn with spikes or lava which causes extreme frustration. This is only solved by death after death, or by making a new map.



Dealing With The Griefers
Sometimes, a simple "Please stop." will suffice. Other times you may be unlucky. If they don't stop or learn their lesson, do NOT hesitate a ban. This could improve the issue.

For some, auto-kicking anyone who uses dynamite is a way to end griefing, But this usually puts grief on people who are mining or fighting mobs.

Making some areas indestructable is a good way to limit griefing, and using piggy banks also helps with stealing issues. Stealing is a MAJOR issue, so make sure you are constantly aware of the situation.

In the end, the only good griefer is a banned one. This is an issue that needs attention fast.
