BTW, if griefer really your name or are you a griefer in the Something
Awful way?

Def'n:
Griefer
Someone, usually in an online game, who intentionally, and usually
repeatedly, attempts to degrade anothers experience or torment them.

Examples of griefing:

1. Player vs player abuse: Singling out the same person and killing
them over and over when they are defensless until hey log off.

2. Kill stealing: Repeatedly trying to steal another persons kills so
that their time is wasted.

3. Verbal abuse: Spamming a person with vulgar, hatefull, or offensive messages.

4. Blocking: Getting in anothers way so they cannot move or get out of
a particular area.

5. "Training": Triggering many monsters, almost always impossible to
fight and survive, with the intention to either run someone out of an
area or kill them indirectly if the server is not 'player vs player'
enabled.

Griefing in massively multiplayer online role playing games are
usually bannable on first offense and less common (thoguh still
visably present).

Griefing is much more common on private servers for first person
shooters like Counterstrike and Battlefield 1942.
