I propose a feature that searches thread titles when you attempt to post your new topic. If the thread title has some key words and or phrases in it, like cloaking, cloak, free skill points, whats the best ship for x, it refuses to create the thread. Unless there hasn't been a similar thread made in over 90 days. Perhaps when technology permits we could make this feature reach out and smack the person attempting to create said thread without using the search function.

Oh the irony if this feature has been proposed recently.

After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary.  -Fozzie

I would so try to get around those restrictions, too. And probably get banned for that quicker than a legitimate person would get banned for being legitimately stupid.

If you're driven to threaten others with harm or violence because of what they do in game, you can't separate fantasy from reality. That "griefer/thief" is probably more sane than you are. How screwed up is that?

Anyone who makes a whine thread about cloaking ships should be banned from the game, since they're all botters and RMTers anyway
