I wouldn't see why not, all we ever get is some new players who stay at spawn and leave or grief around spawn then leave anyways.

This could be done, there is a rollback command that only rollbacks a specific players changes for a specified period of time, and it shouldn't be hard to find creative griefs.

This is true but there would be no way to revert any worldedit changes i believe, the only defense we would have would be to keep a really watchful eye on any donators which would be difficult.

TMI is a client-side mod that basically runs the /give command in Multiplayer. People could easily give themselves large amounts of banned blocks, plus, they'd have to install it themselves, which from personal experience many people can't do. You can't actually configure servers to do that without a Bukkit plugin by the way, and this takes away from people who want to use water, lava and tnt in their builds (without abusing it). It doesn't take long to type /spawn and then /back, so I don't see the problem. If it takes you long to break blocks, go to spawn and get yourself a set of *free* diamond tools.

You can?! silly me! Ive been punching this iron all this time -_-

I dont pretend I know all the answers, perhaps if you spent as much time scalping my ideas as you did coming up with them, we could have solved this by now.

How about a separate creative server where only trusted members are whitelisted.

I never said you were pretending, I just providing a counter-argument. Giving everyone creative is the only proper thing you've suggested so far
(Too many items requires OP to work on Multiplayer, and MC-Edit requires the server to be shut down and the world level.dat to work) and we said no to it. Fly could probably replace MC, but it's not that hard to travel to and from spawn with commands. If we had a trusted members only server, Everyone would play there instead (like you said, B1 is mainly regulars at the moment) and B1 would just be neglected.
