Have you found a derp tower and want to tear the eyesore down?
Have you fallen in a n00b/x-ray hole to bedrock?
Do you see a griefed house every day that has been that way for as long as you can remember and would like to fix it or remove it completely?
Currently the only way to clean up such stupidity is to purchase the realm. But what happens if you purchase a crapped-up realm, clean it up and then sometime later sell it back to the server only to have to original builder come on and complain? Do you have to own the realm for all eternity to head off potential bans by trolls? Are the block logs detailed enough that mods/admins who roll back griefing can see that you owned the realm during the supposed griefing event?
To be honest, it's a problem we can ignore on the current map given the near-future map wipe but it would be nice to keep the new map clean when it finally arrives.

If you buy the realm and give their mats back, they can't complain. Then again, if it's like an uber griefed building and nobody has used it for a while, they can't really complain.

I'm not sure what you mean by "mats" but people have been banned before for tampering with griefed buildings. And of course, players have no way of knowing who placed any blocks without having witnessed it first-hand and can't know if the placer has been gone a long enough. What it really boils down to is this: is it safe to purchase a public realm, tear down everything in it, re-naturalize it, and then sell it back to the server without risking a ban?

'Mats' is an abbreviation of 'materials'. I thought that this thread would actually be about pollution.

Actually this is what leafwarrior254 and I are doing, except for the selling back to the server part. We'll be selling the renewed realms to potential builders for a small profit. That way they remain private, a beautiful building or structure is built on it, and we make a couple thousand credits for our time and effort. But we'll only buy public realms that are destroyed, neglected, and generally uninhabitable.

Also it was abandoned a LONG time ago too. The realm we're selling is here. /viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3687
