Is it still considered griefing if the creation is in the wilderness?

I don't want to destroy anyone else's hard work, and I understand not destroying is commandment #1, but if it's deep in the wilderness, abandoned and unprotected, is it still a violation of the rules to take some of the material from it?

Yes it is. Grieving is grieving no matter what the circumstances

Yes. Anybody caught griefing will be banned.

as a general rule of thumb, if you have to ask if its breaking a rule, it probably is.

Don't destroy things players have built in the wild.

1. It is considered griefing.
2. Griefing is very inconsiderate, no matter how deep in the wild it is.
3. You will be very much banned if you grief in the wild.
   

Okay, thank you very much. Again, I didn't want to, but I'm new to servers and wanted to be extra careful.
