I'm just going to say that I find it very disappointing that this sanction was not taken back.
I'm almost certain piracy demands have not always been limited to credits and cargo by strict interpretation of the rules, so at some point this was snuck in. I don't like that restriction one bit.
Do we now play on a server where it's against the rules to ask a trader to turn around and leave? To demand he must come up with a poem, do a flip or take along (or buy) some of your (illegal) cargo? Creative pirates and pirating creatively have always been the most enjoyable aspects of unlawful gameplay - if you're going to punish that, we might as well /l1 a 2milordai.
