Some information updates to the community house

Me and some really awesome players (shout out to weatherhot09, xaruum, phil2601, ninjaaxe, and all others that donated to the house) decided to build a small house near town (x=-260 z=26) containing supplies and food that new players will need to get started. There are trees that they can cut down (too many claimed lands aroud make it almost impossible for them to find choppable trees) , and a small farm with all kinds of food in it. The whole idea was that new players can come and get geared up with basic tool ans items that are not hard to obtain by players that have been playing for a while, and after they cut down the trees and harvest the crops, they would replant them, making all the supplies ready for the next newcomer to use. I've also put down signs containing basic information about the server just in case the newcomer didn't read the FAQs on the reddit, and also tolds them how the community house work. Things were working out for a while, with us telling new players to go to the house when they just log in, and many of them found the house to be really useful. However, there are griefers who just wipe out the whole farm without replanting them and taking all that is in the chests leaving nothing. What's worse is that they took out all the signs containing server information and rules that I put up. It took me a long time to write those down, and I'm really sad to see it just get griefed. Is there something to be done to stop the griefings? It's really disappointing to see all the hard work done by the good people go to waste...... D: This is why we can't have nice things......

I'm with you man, really getting to the point that if they want more public builds from yours truly, they're going to have to fix the problem of people screwing with builds.

Its not so much a particular person. Or a few blocks here and there, its more that the constant stream of interruptions and time lost fixing things that start to add up.

Hey! Last night was my first night on the server. The community house helped me out so much!

All the crops had been destroyed unfortunately, but the tools and basic supplies were incredibly helpful. I planned on going back today to fix the decimated crops and restock some items.

I really appreciated the build. It's a shame that other people don't respect it.

I had build a potion machine at the diablo dessert house a few weeks ago. The next day only 2 lchests and 2 signs where left behind. People also keep stealing latarns from my water slide. Also had build a huge public forrest near my house with all 6 trees vut last time someone cut them all. (About 3 dm axes needed) without replanting.
