As I pointed out above, this will work on Reports/screenshots. I'll concede that looting and griefing someone's house when they aren't online isn't a hard thing to imagine, it's just the fact that we want to feel safe when we are online, especially for those who play Minecraft to build. I apologise for ruining the status quo but unfortunately I would rather alienate people from performing petty PvP with the people we are trying to impress (the newer members of the community) than lose them forever because people turning into Gryphmaster and just PvPing for fun.
The main rule I want to enforce is homekills, something easy to prove via screenshots, and something easy to follow up when people want it to be. If someone just reports for the hope of getting stuff back, then they return to their SD castle and fortress, it'll be looked at with less weight than someone who is a member and needed the stuff.
