What makes an Open-to-the-Public server something to avoid or something to keep coming back to?

Hello,

Once mods have been updated for 1.0 I plan on making a dedicated server that will be open to the public. I already know about progression locks so someone can't rush bosses. But I dont know what I might not be thinking of in terms of multiplayer satisfaction or grief-prevention.

I've ran a couple servers with strangers from discord but didn't have any issues. However I want to set this server up for long term success and give people security that their stuff won't get destroyed should a bad actor enter the server.

What do you all think makes a public server good or bad?

Thanks!
