1.2 If a player is attacked*, he has a right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking. There are no restrictions for self-defense.
1.3 Attacking characters of level 29 and below is prohibited. Characters under level 30 can be attacked only (1) if grouped with another character of level 30 or higher, (2) if spotted on site of a clan battle, and (3) if the attacker is himself level 29 and below.
1.4 Characters escorted by another character of level 30 or higher can be attacked regardless of their level.
1.5 During a PvP combat player who was killed 3 times should leave the fight, unless sides specify another limit of deaths before the combat begins. Sides should specify goals of the fight and exact time when it begins (and ends).
1.6 Self-killing with a Nova-type weapon or any other weapon is counted as a normal PvP death.
*For purposes of these Rules occasional shooting or shooting "for fun" does not count as an attack if it does not result in draining shields to 50% or lower or hull damage. Self-defense does not count as attack.

Look at what I first quoted then youll see that they would break no server rules at all. Nowhere will you find anything that warrants PMing a mod. If you are above lvl 30, and outside New York, then youre simply at the mercy of every trigger happy person on the server. Just praise yourself lucky that some people are nice enough to actually warn you beforehand shooting at you. Nowhere does it say they have to.
On the other hand I fully understand why you got mad. If you have a simple freelancer character then it should be possible to be left alone, if you ask nicely for it. Of course factions characters are a completely different beast altogether.
Regarding how traders should act:
I see no reason to why traders shouldnt be able to camp to get away from people. Its the safest place to be, i.e. the best place to be, when attacked.
Personally Im only a trader (only got one char actually), and Im not going to hand over any money to any pirate. Im like a flying Scrooge. Except to newbies, and people with good enough reasons. If you want money, then shoot me. Im not going to complain, its your right to do so, but Im not going to peacefully let you do it. Im going to flee like crazy, its not my job to hand you money, its your job to get them from me. And youre going to work for it.
Heh, it even says in the server rules:
Server Rules Wrote:There are no restrictions for self-defense.

And my self-defense will be to get to the nearest base as quickly as possible. Most sensible thing to do for a trader. At least thats what I think.
