Also, I recommend that to avoid a wave of McCarthyism, anyone who publicly accuses someone of being pro-piracy without first presenting hard evidence should be repeatedly kicked in the nutsack and banned.

Troll moment:
Should those found to support piracy have their nutsack tucked in their asshole and be barebacked by a recently blacklisted for a positive std test performer, std based on the severity of their support/involvement of piracy?
Seriously:
This is 1 reason why a rule such as this would not work here.
You would never get people to agree on both how to define the infraction and how to punish the infraction.
With all the mistrust here it is easy to question others ethics, efforts, and agendas.
When all the finger pointing and name calling is put aside what gets done about the real issue at hand?
We all love the money in our pockets from our efforts and like to hold on to it.
Some of you get major IBS when you realize what you are not getting due to piracy. For Property/Rights Holders it is a loss of income, no one in business likes to work for free and income loss is just that to this group of people.
Some of you are in a business that actually benefits from piracy and the liberal DMCA take down processes and safe harbor loopholes knowingly. A rule such as this might create losses for you or cause your position to be questioned openly. It is easy to see why you would oppose it or want to incorporate clauses/propaganda to discourage it.
We can argue various talking points until hell freezes over. A few posts on the subject surely enables most if not all here to make an accurate assessment who is pro-piracy and who is not. You can try to call it a witch hunt but isn't that really just Stone Walling?
Anyone can try to rationalize a "Indifferent" position all they want but not deciding to care about this issue is just a rubber stamp approval without coming out and saying you are pro-piracy. At some point in time you man up and answer the Yes or No question with a Yes or a No.
I would not expect anyone to make an accusation without having some form of proof.
I, also, would expect that the proof would need to be verified before any action was taken.
Don't you trust the staff here to act responsibly?
No one in support of the topic wants to have the label of "Pirate" used like other derogatory labels/terms are used here to troll people.
This separates the "Adults" from the kids.
