Spamarian has found that as of right now, protection stones are not working correctly. If mined, they turn into normal ore instead of an ore block.

That is one expensive misclick if you have efficiency (Whatever max is) and you hit the diamond :/

As for the sell price. We tried making it at least 50% of the buy price and that was just way too high. We have a few people at 100k on the server so upping the sell price would seem to be illogical.

You say the sell price is too high already because there's 3 people in the server with 100k and over... that's like being the president of a country where 70% of the population lives in poverty and saying "I don't want to increase the minimum wage because we have the richest man in the world and that would be illogical". That just doesn't make sense and I know it because I live in such a fucked up country. But this post is not about world economics. My point is that at least 70% of the users have little to no money, 29% have a decent amount of money (which is still not enough to afford proper protection) and 1% has 70k and over (and even like that, they can barely afford the biggest protections).
I admit it. I could have worked my design to function with the protection stones. I also had thought of using a massive wall of furnaces or other lockable blocks. I too could have made my house thousands of blocks away from spawn and that would most likely prevent the grief. I already knew all those techniques to avoid grief.
But I didn't use any, why? because i shouldn't have to do that in first place. I wanted to do my house the way I wanted and make it look how I wanted without having to go through the trouble of moving so much or ruin my house's aesthetics in order to protect it. The server is supposed to have grief protection, but the operators can only do as much.

Perhaps the moderators could keep a running list of people with trusted rank who have lost stones this way, to be returned when the bug is fixed. Not all members, only trusteds, since they're, well, trusted. Just a suggestion, as I have no pull on SMP :)
optical:
I am planning on implementing grief traps on SMP in the next few weeks, provided I have time.
I also think that the stones may still be too expensive, and might reduce the price of them further. That, or increase the sell ratio on some of the raw materials such as dirt.
Nyssa:
Increase sell, maybe lower the diamond protection price =p
