Okay so if us Carebears dodge a wardec by Alliance Hopping is an EXPLOIT but when Hi-Sec Grief-Dec'ers engage us and then CORPORATION HOP to avoid retaliation it is NOT AN EXPLOIT?
Oh FFS CCP either get some consistency or just GET RID OF CONCORD already! Its not like us carebears can "Peacedec" someone to stop them blowing people up.
Heres my Petition from October on this very subject:

Is it considered an exploit to engage a high-sec war-target (in high-sec), then dock and immediately move yourself to a neutral corporation to avoid further engagements? Or is such a use of the game mechanics considered fair play?

HI,
This is not considered an exploit.

Mercenaries? What a laugh.
I can't find any willing to take on the defense of a "carebear" corp, no matter how bad-ass they think they are.
We had 4 war decs in 2007, the first starting just 2 weeks after our alliance was formed. Only 1 of those war decs was from somebody we had done wrong to - ironically we got war-decced by the Coalition of Carebear Killers for NOT podding one of their pilots in low-sec.
The others were corps just picking a fight for the hell of it.
One of those corps had a GREAT game mechanic - they would sit in a neutral corp, spot a war target, join the warring corp, engage, flee and then immediately leave and join a different neutral corp. As I have pointed out on page 2, thats not an exploit, but doing the VERY SAME THING as a corp IS an exploit? I don't mind if it is an exploit but I would like some *consistency* between the scales.
There's a comment above about going to 0.0 where it is safer. Actually thats true. Your playing style has to change dramatically but if you are willing to stop doing most of the things you enjoy in high-sec then you can avoid the war.
Everyone (yes you, the super-genius) is missing the real point - and that is that ALL the tools for waging PVP warfare are in the hands of the COMBAT PILOTS and there are NONE in the hands of the Industrials.
Someone once berated me for not keeping-up on the forums. After wading through 4 pages of people abusing someone that doesn't want to be forced into PVP Combat (separate from PVP Industry/Mining/Scamming/Etc) I am now reminded of why I read the forums so rarely. Forum Warriors, I salute you. You win the forums. I also note that in the previous 2 pages no-one dared touch my original page 2 comment.
And before any flames start - yes I know I should leave the game and play WoW because industrial carebears leech the lifeblood from the game and give nothing in return - I'll take that as a given so long as you provide intelligent on-topic discussion.
