Glossary Entry: Griefing
Quick Definition
When players actively vandialize the virtual property of another player, they are said to be griefing that player. Likewise, the people doing this are known as griefers.
Friends are sometimes okay with lighthearted griefing, but maliciously griefing others is rarely tolerated and often results in a ban.
Put another way, covering a friend's house in toilet paper is a real life example of harmless griefing. Arson would also be considered griefing, but since it's hardly harmless or friendly it won't be tolerated by anyone in charge.
