waste build has been griefed and I want to know if i can remove it

Immediately after the last reset of the wastes - I went to Waste South and made a building and started exploring that desert. Now, weeks later, someone has turned my building into a mine. Kind of irritating. But I put a sign on the building that welcomed others (and my name), so I just let it be after checking for other damage and kept going.

Now, someone has encased the doors in glass and obviously doesn't want anyone else in my building. This upsets me, as this is not what i made the building for. Am i within my rights to level the building and take back my materials from the jerk who has corrupted my build??

Stone hut with dark stairs roof immediately off of the South Stairs at Waste South.
thanks.

I have now tried to break the glass, to get the player's name. The player is [removed by staff]
(side question: is there a better way to see who owns a block than to try to break it?)

It's always best to search in game for staff or if none are in game start a convo with one. They won't always see a thread (and not really best to post about it anyways). They have the tools to find out who/what was taken instead of you trying to break blocks. Also best to not repair anything until they've had a chance to look around.

I don't understand, why wouldn't you be allowed to take back the blocks you placed? Just because someone changed it doesn't mean it's not your build any more.

You can take back any of your blocks at any time. If you placed them, they are yours to do with what you want. (As long as not in a grief way) Not sure what you mean. As far as grief though, you should only do repairs after staff has looked around.

Well, Katy was asking if it was ok to tear down her own building.

Can't you like do a command and disallow anybody to break any of your placed blocks in the waste?

if you built it, just have staff remove the glass.

Initially, I didn't know who placed the blocks. I tried /staff, but no one was on at that hour. The suggestion was to try to forums, so I did. Guessing it meant somewhere else.... they should look into being quite a lot more specific. Because I did my best to follow the directions that were given. (next post idea, I guess)

After a while, I tried to break a glass block and got the name of the player who placed all of them. (there were tons inside, and under it, as well) then I used the /report for that player. A staff member contacted me a while later. After they did a survey of the damage and took the protections off the glass blocks, I was able to get in and look around. The building was a loss. So I took it down. I know people had been using it, but I was really ticked.
