    I'd like to discuss two features that, I suppose, were designed as anti-griefing measures.

    1) Being unable to collapse a structure.
    I am not sure how this works, but sometimes players can't destroy the last block supporting a structure, only being able to damage it until it is at one hit from destruction. The problem is that it sometimes prevents us from collapsing the enemy structures, and it does nothing (as far as I've seen) to prevent team members from collapsing our structures. If this is an anti-griefing measure, then it is not working as expected.

    2) Losing coins for destroying blocks.
    It is understandable that players lose coins when destroying blocks, but when destroying enemy structures too? Coins should be gained instead. Anyway, I don't believe that losing coins would be much of a problem for a griefer, as they obviously don't fight and thus don't need coins at all.

    1) This is a bug, not an anti griefing measure. I believe its similar to when a square bugs out and you are unable to place blocks there.

    2) This is because there isnt any reasonable way to check who or what team placed what block. Its not that big a deal anyway because you lose 30 coins max if you destroy a entire quarters. The only people that really NEED tons of coins are suicide bombers anyway :D

    This is an anti-greif measure, and a buggy one at that.

    Yep, 1) is definitely an anti-griefing measure... One I have personally experienced problems with myself - I've never been particularly happy with it.

    Basically if the last supporting tile of a structure is within a certain distance from one of your team's spawns, you are unable to destroy it (though the opposing team can).
