Absolutely not.
What is Region Griefing?
Region Griefing is the malicious cousin of "region crashing". Where "crashing" involves moving several nations into a region at once and taking over the delegate-ship, griefing involves less savoury events afterwards.
Such as...?
Having acquired the delegate-ship, griefers have been known to kick all of the original member nations out of the region and password protect it. Under extreme circumstances, the griefers have actually left the region themselves - causing it to disappear. Following its disappearance, they re-create it with themselves as founders.
But, taking over a region is legal, right?
Broadly speaking, yes. I can move myself and my friends into your region and become the delegate. What I can't do is kick everyone out of the region. That's where "griefing" comes in. It's generally a fine line and the mods get a lot of requests to look at situations which may or may not be griefing.
You are permitted to eject a few natives for tactical reasons, but they must immediately be removed from the banlist. If you password the region, you must immediately telegram the password to all natives.
