"There were actually two versions of this snapshot, and the original version is no longer available. The old one had translation griefings, and one of the translators was banned."
Griefing is clearly getting worse. Now it is affecting the game itself. I'm not totally serious about that - I just thought it would be a good idea to share this entry I found in the wiki.

So I was working on this really cool resource pack a while ago, but bad progress nonwithstanding, I think I found something much better... I'm probably gonna never release another custom Minecraft map.Until we meet again...

The trolls and greifers are getting worse and worse......
Not really. If Mojang can't bother to google translate what gets sent in, that's just them being lazy. Griefing is actually getting better as most servers have grief protection, so fewer people can just go on and grief. The hardcore griefers like team avo and ICHG still grief, but there is less overall.

This is a community project. The point of it was for the community, not mojang to do the translations.....but some parts of the community decided to be trolls and put crappy stuff like this. Anyhow, Mojang doesnt have time to run everything through google translate (which is mediocre at best) because there is so much stuff coming in, and anyways, who would do this? Why would mojang be cautious of the community?
I found griefing in the form of like filling a room with wool or something cute. Then it got to the point of TNT and lava which just got annoying and disrespectful. Then stealing which is just low.
Messing with translations would be funny if they did something like make "wood" say "Flying Elephants", but this is just completely out of hand.
Eventually this'll turn into something like the minecraft.net server getting hacked so no one can log in.

*cough* *griefers* *cough* to answer your question.
They got what, 40 translations? It takes maybe an hour at the most to put that through google translate, and it saves them a lot of face. Sure, google translate dosen't translate sentences but just words, but "Hitler is great" would still come through.

The translation griefing is just appealing. Not only is it offensive, but it has to STAY there until the next update. What makes my even more sad is that people actully want to help "translate" JUST so they can say a few nasty comments. I also blame it on Mojang a bit. In 1.2.3, the African language was griefed to say something that I would be banned from the forums if I even mention it. Even worse is that it was in plain English. So all Jeb or Notch has to do is LOOK at the button and say "Oh, someone put this here, gotta change it before I release the update!" (and yes, I know they're Swedish, but they know very good English so no excuses). Just goes to show how far people will go to hurt others.
As for the Minecraft griefing, my server was HEAVILY griefed not too long ago. At first I was scared, but then I realized that my Mods and I could just re-build everything. We ended up teasing the griefers and doing fun things to them (hint* flinging 500 blocks into the air), making a seemingly grim situation into a fun one ;). Yes, griefers are jerks, but handle them the right way and they are just rats in a cage.
People grief because they think its cool, they are not. They think its fun, it is not. They think it will not affect the game, they are wrong. Griefers are the lower forms of life. 'nuff said.

people like griefing becuase it makes other people mad, and that just makes them heartless idiots. they remind me of terrorists, except griefers have no reason to do what they do.
Griefers just grief for their own fun, I bet one of them is watching this topic and laughing their ass off, which of course makes me sick. I don't like griefers, when I was new to Minecraft I had no idea what I was doing so I decided to borrow some wood from a box, turns out it was a house and a guy called me a griefer and the admin banned me. I had no idea what the word 'grief' was but I learned as I progress, I have experienced being griefed before, it's not pretty. And for me, griefing isn't like cutting some holes in a house or burning a village or setting of a piece of TNT, griefing for me is the whole server being a mess, half of the people on the server are bots spamming and hacking, unable to build/break, invisible players breaking away, unbannable players...etc. It's getting way outta hand.

How is it fun to ruin and destroy things that other people put their own thought, effort, and creativity into making? I'm a optimistic, polite, and reasonable person, but one of the few things I cannot stand are griefers. Wherever I go, creativity is a major element in what I think, say and do. Such rude, pointless destruction simply sickens me. To me, griefing and hacking servers is no better than burning books.

"Victory is like a watermelon. It's hard to spell and it tastes good."
There's low scale griefing, which is what I do: taking down someone's house and rebuilding it upside down, some other misc harmless mind tricks that don't hurt anyone. Oh, forgot to mention: I only do it on servers that say they encourage griefing.
Then there's normal griefing, which is blowing up someone's house, stealing, etc, on servers that allow it, which is... Ok, as long as the server allows it.
Then there's big griefing, which is what teams like aVo and ICHG do.
Then, there's this. What had the community come to? Sometimes I swear I play with a bunch of 3 year olds.

Combination of boredness, wanting to see drama, just doing stuff. I'm an optimistic, polite and reasonable person myself but **** sometimes I like griefing. Sometimes I grief even if I know admins have rollback stuff like hawkeye. It's always funny to see people whining about something that can be undone in 2 miliseconds.

Griefing is fun when you do it
If you want to grief, go on a server where it is allowed.
And they had so many things to check, Thats why they didn't see it.
...Damn Griefers.
