A system of somesort that only allows the player to destroy their blocks. And a list of allowed people.
Example:
Bob builds a nice house.
Jim comes on the server, offers some redstone goodies.
Jim cant touch Bobs blocks.
Bob adds Jim to the allowed list.
Jim makes some redstone goodies in Bobs nice house.
Joel comes along and says that he can make some better redstone goodies, that will support him in harvesting.
Bob is shaddy against Joel, as Bob would think he can just ask Jim.
Bob adds Joel anyways.
Joel Destroys Bobs house.
Bob is Mad at Joel and sends a negative input towards his minecraft status, and selects reason as greifing.
Bob votes Joel out, Joel is kicked out.
Bob and Jim re-builds their house, and Jim builds some redstone harvesting goodies to make up the pain Bob as went through.
-----
Bob does not get his blocks back if anyone was asking that as I would think it would be used to the evil of duplicating. Same thing as a recovery button, could be used as duplication. I would still be shaddy with the voting though.
I kinda get the idea but i think mine is better its the top post at the mo its called minecraft multiplayer idea plz vote on it at least 80% agree with me. It stops griefers and allows you to play with who you want.
I read your thread and I dont have total miner, but I do have Fortress craft, and it has the same option. But I would think mine would be nice to be added to yours for more options for the players. Cause in my eyes, your idea is basicly;
Host your map, make it guest view only. Somepeople come on line and, wait spider...., thing went under chair, /me crosses legs in chair... Like i was saying. They want to add some things to your world, like their own house. Your going to have to remake the server, and make it friends can edit, after u add them, and they could reck your stuff RIGHT THERE. I realy think mine is more... Dependable, as no one, im sure, wants to go on a minecraft server just to view your buildings.
Joe builds house
Sam is a griefer and builds wall around Joe's house
Joe is not able to destroy the wall that Sam built, because he doesn't have "permission"
Sam waits for Joe to die of starvation, or leave the server.
OR
Richard builds house
Luke is a griefer and places cobblestone inside the house, like everywhere.
Richard can't get to his things because he doesn't have "permission" to break Luke's blocks
Richard goes to a new location, and the process starts all over again.
I would think the voting system would work here. Diffrent options for the voting, as in clear all blocks from this player.

a good idea is land permission which is already out there as a plugin
Well with my way i meant it is changeable while in game so the host can the hover over persons name and allow them to edit button. Also i don t want them to just view my buildings i was thinking for adventure maps.
Oh, terribly sorry about that "view buildings" thing. Completely forgot about adventure maps. But with adventure maps, wouldn't you still, at times, break or place blocks and use items like buttons and doors? Wouldnt your option prevent them from doing this? I would think it would be better if we had a list of things we can allow our players on the server to do, as in "use activatables (switches, buttons), use doors, break, place"
I might get a bit carried a way with my self with these options, but there could be a advanced options for the host and a allowed list to restrict things.
Example:
Bob builds a nice house.
Jim comes on the server, offers some redstone goodies.
Jim cant touch Bobs blocks.

I am talking about a alternative that doesn't need that. That allows you to look at a list of servers and use the options discussed in this thread.
