Honestly I don't care about griefers because on some server there's "indestructible block" solution, small blocks to block their spawn point entry. But I think it's harsh and cause them more problematic. I'm just throwing in ideas:
Solution "can do now":
*Make larger "indestructible block" room to give them freedom to build and destroy in there, I think it'll help get them realize griefing is bad when someone destroy their work.
*Make long "indestructible block" walk-way surrounding near space's wall, so to give them viewing pleasure, see other's work.
Coding server:
*Make another glass block, make them indestructible for admin to use (for griefer to see outside easier, great for viewing pleasure walk-way)
*Make it that granting/promoting "user level" can walk thru certain block (perhap indestructible glass?)
Griefers will never "realize the error of their ways".
When I started playing this some weeks or months ago, I griefed on impulse, that is because I didn't totally realise that (for them) people put effort into what they are making. I did not take the authors of work seriously, because I assumed that they did not take their work seriously, so I did not believe that destroying something for a laugh was incorrect.
I immediately started making a house in roflcopter city as soon as I joined.
Some mook ruined it by flooding the basement and turning the remains into a swasty farm.
I l earned very quickly about griefing and it pissed me off.

When I first played on a multiplayer server, after playing singleplayer for a while and tunneling around, I did the same on a random server. Upon getting to the surface, I was swiftly banned. .-.

Just some thoughts.
Also, you can glitch out of OpBlock (Indestructible block) areas with enough area to walk around quite easily.
this can, and is almost always prevented however, with two over-lapping checkerboard patterns on top of the area
e.g.
layer one:
[iron]
[iron] [iron]
[iron]
this is extended for two layers, (player height) then a solid roof before a second layer of checkerboarding
[iron] [iron]
[iron]
[iron] [iron]
iron = air
obsidian = opblock

I agree.
Every server has a ban function.
