Well I for one like the Endermen, though I think it is a bug that they can take a block out of a building or what not. If they were made so that can only take a block that is natural, or only dirt then that would be cool. Also make it so they can't take a block that has anything directly on top of it would stop the tree swisscheese I am seeing. I do agree that seeing the random tree missing a section out of it is pretty cosmetically irritating and seeing a bunch of random holes is pretty annoying. Pretty much if they can only move non-player placed blocks and those that have nothing above them then that would make it a bit better...just some thoughts though.
Solution to endermen breaking that nice 50x50 mob trap you have... Make the spawn area 2 blocks tall! Endermen are 3 blocks, and they can't spawn in canals because of the water! Also works for tower spawners.
I don't get why everyone is complaining about Endermen ruining their mob towers. Just make each floor 2 blocks tall instead of 3 blocks tall and they can't spawn in their. It's not like Ender pearls are something you want stacks of.

Slime balls were something no one wanted stacks of either until Sticky pistons came out.

Well just to beat the horse a little more. Just make the Endermen so that they can only grab blocks that have nothing directly over them and are unable to affect player placed blocks. This should not include dirt, it should be bacically every other block accept sand, dirt, and gravel. Kind of stupid to take on block out of a tree and then walk around with it. I also think they should drop whatever they are carrying when they die.
For your house, light it up and have lava moats and little traps if one gets inside. For grinders, just make the roof only two blocks above the floor. If an Enderman somehow spawns in there, he'll suffocate. Also, I'm fairly sure that mobs beside squid can't spawn in water, so no worries about the waterways to the actual grinding station.
Um, DERP!

Endermen can not pick up slabs (half-blocks). Just put these inside your mob grinder(s). Build a fence out of slabs if you don't want a moat. Alternatively, put torches around your property so nothing hostile will spawn within whatever distance you decide to put them out to. Or, my personal favorite, build a wall out of cacti.

Turning "Limit Framerate: OFF" to "ON"will often solve many problems on SMP servers that would otherwise be considered lag. Remember this.
I guess nobody bothered to point out that Endermen seemingly will only spawn near the surface and requires a 3 block tall clearance... which makes most large scale grinders immune to any issues simply because they are made with only a 2 block clearance on spawning floors and often have the areas above lit up properly and enclosed for easy access. I have yet to see an Enderman walking around with anything other than dirt, gravel, or sand, and suspect that certain block types, like wood and cobblestone are purposely made invalid for being picked up.
For people freaking out because Endermen can teleport... seriously, grow a pair and just kill them if you happen to look at one. It's not like they're hard to kill. It's not like most people aren't already carrying around a bucket of water with them everywhere they go as soon as they have iron.
For anyone who might complain about Endermen ruining their stuff... pics or it didn't happen.

Endermen can grab any normal sized block(wood and cobble included), its been proven in several threads.
Light a large distance around your place. I do it all the time... Dont have problem with any mobs in my settled areas on SMP... Grow a brain. Most of yall are building bull **** anyways. The endermen are doing a service tearing your **** apart. Who knows, they might make an improvement.
So your buildings aren't ********. Or I'm sorry, "bull ****", while most people's stuff on this forum is? :dry.gif:

I still think the light idea is the best, even though moats ate affective, if you are gone a while they can spawn inside the moat, unless of course its lit, lighting and a water moat would be best, cause I have problems falling in my own lava moats :3.
QFT. OP, are you ****ing retarded?
2. Build a moat
3. ???
4. Profit
What if they spawn ON the island?
or just don't look at them... oh yeah and DERP!!!
Derpity Derp Derp!!!
Slime balls were something no one wanted stacks of either until Sticky pistons came out.
2) fill hole with water/lava
3) ??????
4) profit
goodbye enderman
Um, DERP!
