General Discussion / Re: Massive Griefing, becomes unbearable!!!!

I had an idea about protection stones that might not help the truly huge projects but might would help with projects like walls and such.
What if the person who placed the protection stone could customize it's dimensions? Now before you say something, I mean that they could customize the dimensions within the same max amount of area covered. Now my math isn't amazing here, but I'll give it a try...
Say you have a 3 wide by 4 high block wall around your home/compound that's say... 100 blocks long. You could with the current system, buy 10 11x11x11(1331 blocks) sized protection stones to protect it. But let's say you can modify those placed P. Stones dimensions protect any sized area less than or equal to 1331 blocks total. You could then edit them to cover a 5x6x44 (1320 blocks) therefore only needing roughly 3 stones! (If the wall was straight of course, which it is for simplicity's sake).
This could also be useful for creations like pixel art, since they're usually extremely tall but very thin, dramatically decreasing the amount of stones needed to protect them.
Now like I said, this system wouldn't really help with massive buildings and such, but they might could be used to protect just the outside of such structures to prevent entry.
This should just involve some permissions tweaks in the code as oppose to constant moderator help. But keep in mind, their would have to be a way to keep each P. Stone type from going past it's max area coverage when edited. I don't code much, but I figured it might be feasible.
Just my 2 cents.
