This situation needs to be looked at imho.
It is one thing for someone to get ganked because they ignored a specific warning, but this is not the same.
Ultimately, the fact that the 'ganker' goes to such lengths to avoid the 'victim' reading the specific warning (rather than the far more general, and somewhat misleading, usual gang message) is a fair indication that this is an unfair abuse of game mechanics.

Read the rules and warnings people and shut up!
I think you missed the point that was being made.
The tactic being used prevents the "victim" from getting the "This gang is at war" warning. That is what people think is wrong with it.

The tactic does not prevent the "victim" from clicking "decline". Its that simple. Sure the tactic is low, but it can be avoided easily. It is possible to evade, dont click accept. And now its 7 pages of whinge, threats of leaving / mistrust and whatever hash anyone else has thrown in. Eve is a game of actions and consequences, stupid actions lead to big consequences, I dont know how else to put it.
If the person joining the gang was not supposed to get a warning about that gang being involved in a war, CCP would not have gone to the effort to code that warning.
Abusing game mechanics to deny the "victim" from seeing the intended message is the problem, nothing else.
I have no problem with people being ganked because they ignored the message if they received it.
