There are a couple of facts about this that we all have to come to grips with.
1. This cannot be changed by anything that happens on this forum
2. This can only be changed by either directly or indirectly influencing the enjoyment of the players doing this.
2.A. Directly : The overwhelming application of force by other players to pwn into space-dust players who view Disco as just another 1st-person-shooter-game.
2.B. Directly : Console-Level power applied to remove these players back to the systems they belong in, Admin kill them, or whatever else that is useful
2.C. Indirectly : Refusing to play the game their way. Leave the system, dock, or otherwise avoid them so they can only play with themselves (this has the drawback of only working if EVERYONE uses it simultaneously)
Before any of these are used, the "offenders" ought to be told to go back where they belong, because they aren't wanted, and if they refuse, then it's time to take their fun away one way or another.
And that is the bottom line : you have to take their fun away completely and show them that the only way to have fun on Disco is (for lack of a better way to say it) playing the game our way.
