Talk:Tutorials/Griefing prevention

should be careful to keep this article NEUTRAL. Having an anti-greifer stance, while it is the opinion of most minecraft users, is not proper on a wiki. Remember this article is here for information purposes, it is not to help nor hinder griefing. --Peroggi 05:15, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Etymology
I don't know where or why the word 'griefer' has it's definition on MC, but someone should know...

No, the term griefer is usually used to describe a person who causes another one grief, and is usually used in the context of a game. A griefer is usually someone who doesn't hack (but they can be a hacker), but uses some glitch or bug in the software to cause grief. --WedTM 17:33, 22 August 2010 (PDT)
