I suggest that the live map be changed in such a way where it can be possible to hide an area/base from prying eyes and possible trouble makers. Maybe something like outside of the pre-loaded chunks, only areas explored by that specific player show up. So if one player goes out 20,000 blocks, that explored area doesn't show up for others, until that area is explored by others. Another idea is that while you are hidden, you wouldn't reveal areas to the general public, so that people can have a more secure experience while creating wild outposts.
Welcome back Stephan! I do not see griefers going out 20,000 blocks to grief though. This will all be fixed with Wild Claiming, with Empires. With Wild Claiming, it is a portion of the wild that nobody can harm but you and people you trust.
