Have Dean and/or Woodie come out and say something like, "Listen. We are serious. We've put this in the Manual (via an update but still it's in the rules). We want this to stop. If you won't do this out of respect for the rules, then I am asking you to do it out of respect for me. Please. Don't do this. If you see others doing it, remind them of the norms of this community. Thanks."

I think the FIRST community will surprise you with how fast we'd get this under control, but it will take more than a blog post I think.

Absolutely agree! I think the confusion source is that there's mixed messages coming from above, so some folks think it's OK.
