No but if you learn to ignore the problem, you generally find that most aren't complete arsewipes and will still pew, RP and play as normal. Sure events and big gatherings get wrecked but there's always next time. They're still human, after all. Can't be everywhere all the time.
The select few that decide to tangle themselves with the DPC (such as the the DDoS incident you mentioned) are spineless children and are no fun to play with anyway.
