Last time the Admins, stomped on this exploit, Bases were reduced to Core 1, with no warning. This time, a warning has been introduced.
And just to deflate you EGO, slightly, we have been discussing this for a little while.
I was only complementing you on your timing. And I'm not sure it's really my ego that's the cause of the response time in some of the things I say and do.

I think you've now identified the biggest problem with the POB system, like many others before you.
One person should not be crapping out a multiple-digit number of stations singlehandedly.
'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person

I have checked the POB mechanics, I have checked the rules regarding them.
Then I have devised a plan, base on that knowledge. Now with single sudden post, everything goes down the drain.
I wanted to use POBs for something else than mining/manufacturing, the plan was to do player-driven Derelict Stations, I guess that is out of the question now.
Now that I have calmed myself down a little bit, I can see the bright side: It is not sanction able offense yet.
" I guess that is out of the question now." possibly if you are just yourself supplying, but note in the OP "We are looking into the POB mechanics regarding crew".
This decision should've been made long ago, even without the wear and tear changes that I personally see as unnecessary.
If you have to resort to these tricks because you can't be bothered feeding the base, then you shouldn't have one.
One thing to note is I trust the admins will recognise the difference between those actively using this exploit and simple idiots like me who sometimes don't get round to feeding their crew and lose some.

I strongly believe the admins will have a no issue making a distinction between the two.
