is triggering a locked dispenser considered griefing?

[freecomkcf]

i submitted a modreq or two about this, but i figure i'd make a thread to make getting consecutive responses easier.

 

so anyway, i built a little "slot machine" thing that dispenses random items when you put 1 gold bar in a hopper (or whatever cost i feel like putting at the moment). this thing got looted once, so i checked to make sure everything was locked - found a hopper that wasn't locked, called myself an idiot, fixed that, then surrounded the thing with obsidian. then it got looted again and now i'm starting to think someone's getting in and messing with the redstone inside.

 

is something like this allowed? the first modreq i made about this, TornadoHorse got back to me and called it "a dick move".

From the universal rule page on the wiki:

 

"No attempts to circumvent any protections on the server, including but not limited to the server script, LWC(Chest protection), WorldGuard(Block protection), and No Cheat Plus. Attempts to do so without permission will result in a ban without appeal."

 

Seems like an attempt to circumvent LWC protection to me, however I am not a mod/ admin.

If they're placing a switch or button or something to empty your dispenser, then that's been ruled as griefing in the past.  See if you can get a mod to check logblock around the dispenser, see if anyone placed a button/switch/redstonetorch/etc.
