Almost every town has rules about griefing the structures of others or the town. Many also have security rules asking members not to dig through walls and such. However finding the people responsible can often be very difficult.
Mayors can of course pe griefing and the like, leave the security breach while they wait for Admins to respond and tell them who griefed so that they can be banned from town, from server too perhaps.
Still it would be far more efficient for all involved if Mayors had a tool that would allow them to see the recent block changes. For instance on my last server Mayors could see the block log of a given block by right clicking on that block with a wooden pick. If a hole was found in a home or a town wall mayors could place a dirt block in the space and then check the log.
Such a tool of course would not put an end to the behavior entirely and Mayors would still need to locate the hole. What such tool would do is allow mayors to dicipline the responsible party if it was simple irresponsibility, or remove them if it was malicious.
I know some of you will say that Mayors need to catch them in the act and that its part of the game. Please post such nonsense here so that your mayor will know who the culprit is. As for the rest of us we know that actually catching someone in an online enviroment where people live in different timezones and even countries is nearly impossible.
I think such a tool would also lend itself quite well to the Karma system proposed by @Kainzo. As it stands players who would let raiders in or steal from a town have alot to gain and very little real chance of getting caught. If there was a tool that let Mayors know without a doubt that a certain player was responsible for helping raiders enter the town they could not only kick them but let other towns know to beware.
