I'm going to come clean and say I "tactically modified" the bridgeport gate redstone, too. I removed one wire, and snuck off. It's just so tempting. Cover it up, or something, Game. If you leave it sitting in the open, well.
I left it open because removing redstone is griefing and therefore a voilation of a server rule. I shouldn't have to worry about someone messing with it.
I think redstone hooked up to traps should be griefable during wartime, but seeing as how we are not at war, I think any tampering with redstone wiring should be considered griefing and a violation with rules. Someone has now messed with two of my redstone contraptions and they aren't easy to fix.
