The reason this approach has historically been a problem is that most muds lack
any real weapons for shutting down grief players other than killing them. If
you've got other good anti-griefer weapons, it's not such a big deal. If you
don't, then the players have no real solution but to complain loudly, log out,
and (maybe) come back later.
