To my mind the only real "griefing" on the PvP server are the following situations:
-Going out of your way to gank lowbies (that is, flying to ashenvale as a level 60 and killing 20s)
-Corpse camping (this is *only* really possible with a group, and even then I've rarely been effectively corpse camped).
-Graveyard camping (really, really low when it happens).
I generally follow my own little extra code of honor, including such things as never starting something with anyone less than 5 levels or more under me and never attacking someone who is currently on a mob. I keep my PvP fights to the open areas.
I don't corpse camp either unless they deserve it (they fit one of the 3 griefer categories mentioned above). Since I spend a lot of time doing anti-ganker defense in lowbie areas, I have done a bit of it. But they richly deserve what they get.
The interesting thing is, at least on Tichondrius, is that since level 45 or so 99% of everyone seems to be following the same rules. I haven't gotten hit while on a mob in forever, even when I've got a sliver of health left and there are alliance all over.
This isn't, of course, so much about honor as it is about the blowback. You kill someone on a mob, and you can bet you're not going to be questing there either, they are going to come back at you. Still, it's nice to see.
As a sorta pedantic aside, Horde are really not the evil bad guys. Humans were one of the most evil races in WC3.
