From a game-development perspective, Goonswarm are about as useful to EVE as having a group of two thousand pre-schoolers help you complete the apollo-project. 
ONE person suiciding is a nessisary evil, dozens or hundreds is abuse and eventually forces the developer to consider changing the game.
So next time your favorite ship is nerfed it is the result imbalances (perceieved and otherwize).
I have seen this kind of behaviour before, and eventually it leads to one of three things:
- The offending part gets its will, and it's view of the game rules prevail.
I hope the mindset of Goons never become dominant in EVE... (no you may not have my stuff if it does).
- The developer eventually wakes up and realizes he could spend his time improving the game instead of running around putting out fires.
This road leads to an ultimatum and eventually a blanket ban on a group of players who simply dont comply.
- A state of equilibrium develops. The number of morons is kept down by more mature customers/players. How knows.. the realisation might set in at GSHQ, hey maybe NOT treating your fellow gamers like you do is the wrong way to go. I doubt this will happen since EVE needs GS as much as anyone needs Cancer.
So, if you want to help. Simply report GS spamposts. File a petition each tiem you get ganked. Tell CCP "look I know it's not against the rules, but I just think it's unfunny". Be sure to elaborate. Be dispassionate, state your grief and leave it piling up on the desk of the guy doing "customer satisfaction" at CCP - eventually either GS will be told to stop or face ban, or the DEVs change the game so high sec ganking is impossible.
Thus we end up with a poorer game for our effort, thank you GoonSwarm...

Stuff I wrote (see above)
This is definitely the way to go. Spam the moderators who are already up to their neck in reported posts. Spam the GMs who are already up to their neck in useless petitions. Tell CCP, "hey, i know it's not the game you want, but it's the one I want". Elaborate! Tell them why you're such a gifted little twit that you deserve it! There's no way you can lose with awesomeness like this.
Wow you seem mad for a GoonSwarm Alt...
The validity of a petition or report is perhaps best left up to the actual GM or moderator to decide. Perhaps you were rejected as GM once? do I detect a touch of bitternes?
I sound like I care, I really dont. Now go back into your hole GS alt. *plonk* (that's you being added to the /ignore list) bye bye.
