There is a better way. Introduce DECAY for everything NOW. So when you put the bin down it will be yours for the next 2 hours. If left unatended the bin becomes public after 2 hours OR DECAYS and content it lost. The point is that all unatended bins should DECAY or be made public and all attended bins should still remain private.
People have no effective way of defending themselves from griefers in this game except privacy of their lands and their bins. Everything else is a free griefing game, including destroying resources and terraforming land into oblivion. Add to that that griefers can destroy stuff in your bin and you have yourself a griefer dominated game.
And before someone says "KILL HIM" I need to point out that naked people running around with no armor have huge advantage over people who craft things and gather resources. To "KILL HIM" you need to drop everything burdening on the ground and then someone else can jump from the bushes and destroy your stuff while you combat first griefer. Yes, there is enough time to do that even if you are strong enough to kill 3-4 people with no armor. Time is what is key element in here.
DECAY of EVERYTHING is the key and not FREE FOR ALL rules.
