Tell me whats wrong with my idea, but please don't flame, be constructive. 
 If you assume Macro miners use barges or T2 barges, and are located in a NPC corp.
And PPL want to kill Macro miners. But can't war dec an NPC corp.
 Introduce something like a "license" for operating mining barges in high-sec, and no-one in a NPC corp can make use of these "driving-lincens'es" while beeing in a NPC corp. If they do drive a barge in High-sec they are outlaws. 
Any non-NPC corps can get a "mining-license" for free (or a symbolic value) from Concord.
And can mine all they want, If they are Macro-miners they can be War-dec'ed.
Also to prevent them from changing corps every day they would need mining-roles in the corp. And the use of such a licence needs to prevent you from leaveing the corp too soon, say a few days. 
So there you have it, give the players a way to kill Macro Miners.
Small inconvinience for miners who are in the NPC-corps, but a good ammount of fun for the players that think Macro killing/kamikaze ganking is just as fun..

But Why would you need to be in an NPC corp?
It only takes a small amount of time to train for corp management, and you can make your own corp.
Also if you had read my post properly, you'd see that macrominers CAN'T jump corps all the time, because the "licence" don't work unless you have a "miner" role in your corp. And if you increase that role to last for a few days, theese macro miners can't mine until they have the active role and licence again.
Easy as veldspar.

Well.. either you can "prevent" macro miners from .. macro'ing.. with some fancy in-game mechanic (like my first idea), or you can make it harder for them to macro by moving the "user" menus around.
Like:
Remove the overview buttons and make right click menus appear (randomly) above or below the mouse pointer. This way, macro programs won't work.
Or maybe change the way the user menus work just while beeing in a barge.

There is only one way to get rid of macrominers and farmers is to give everyone infinite ISK or make everything in game free. So long as anything has value, they will try and make money off it.
Not very constructive..
