I use a much more devious approach. If some very low level pirate comes along and engages in rep-stealing, I inform them that it is generally frowned upon. If they do something annoying, such as continuing to rep-steal, calling me a noob or something else, or anything of the like, I usually help them so their confindence is built up and stand on the sidelines and watch them get knocked out by a Brinescum! Then laugh at them while they scream "REVIVE"
This always works in Tormenta!
