Griefers are users in multiplayer video games that try to ruin other players' days, whether that be by abusing the game's mechanics or spamming in the chat.

If you run into a griefer in-game, simply ignore them. What griefers want is to get a reaction out of the people they're playing with, so in order to dilute their annoyance simply don't give them any reaction. You could also try and act smarter than them if they are chat griefing, though this may backfire. Generally griefers are just a worse version of noobs/n00bs, that instead of just being annoying actually ruin things.
Griefer griefing in-game:
*Griefer destroys structure made by good player*
Griefer: L0L u N0Ob
*good player says nothing*
*griefer teamkills good player*
Good Player: Wow! Nice kill!

Griefer chat griefing:

Griefer: L0L ScurBbbBbbbBb ;;;;;))))
Good Player: So Good Player 2 how's your day been?
