This may exist; someone in game said there was such a mod. Anyway, I figured this would really help the staff and minimize the work they had to do fixing griefs.
A mod that prevented [Guest] players from manipulating other player's blocks. They could still build, using resources and blocks they gathered from the ground and stuff, but they wouldn't be allowed to actually destroy any block that another player had already manipulated. Since most griefers are people that show up as guests, grief, then disappear for good, this would eliminate the majority of griefers. The expectation of course, would be that if they stuck around long enough to make [Member], they would be less likely to grief. This won't eliminate griefers 100%, but I think you'd likely see a reduction greater than 50%.
