Thought I would make two replies here to break it up a bit.

The Base Hunters get punished because of Oorp reasoning. But since (in your own words) you've already said the RP part of DISCOVERY RP 24/7 SERVER is apparently invalid and should be removed, all the game rule based arguments stated before you are nothing but "moot" to you. Thus it's impossible to convince you otherwise.
The Base Hunters are getting punished for using caps as Oorp game exploits to create Oorp task forces biased against Oorp game targets. They use every Cap-weilding ID in the game, have somehow created an Oorp unofficial group (a bit wrong in itself), post messages allegedly from a faction which goes against the whims of the officials, nearly made the Omicron wars 100% worse, seem to completely disregard negotiations InRp, and aren't accountable to anyone but themselves. They percieve PoB's (which take vast amounts of time and effort to maintain) as "pixels", with no difference to the Rp which supports them. Their ganks are planned unannounced without any forum Rp and/or Ingame Rp beforehand as happens in all InRp legitimate base ganks, and operate pan-faction, pan-meta, with names which seem inconsistent with their forces (why is there a legate named Trader_Zoner????). Even when Rp does have some place the reactions are disproportionate (for instance, when Sindrom's Corsair legate landed on Gammu to buy capguns there, [which InRp should really be happening if warned off by a Consensian], was shot down, and then a revengegank of many, many lolgates unsanctioned by the Council Of Elders (Corsairs are neutral to AI) destroyed the AI POB. That's... pretty crazy. Even bases with significantly bigger RP sheets than that have fallen before the Base hunters, for way less legitimate reasons. It's just about viable that a Corsiar cartel could have been angered enough to generate that capspam, but it's not at all viable that the GRN would shoot down legitimate Gallic bases against the will of the.... ahem... the GRN.
This whole idea is filled full of holes.
Oh and Kudos Henderson, Ed, Omicron and swallow. Oh and Katyn too xD.
