    My suggestion would eliminate situations where people lot on something they aren't supposed to and then claim that it was accidental; you could simply wait for everyone that's not supposed to lot to pass first (which would be seen by everyone in party), or have the party leader lot last, etc. It's not foolproof, but would put a lot more social pressure on "accidental" ninja lots.

    Also, as far as SE is concerned, ninjaing doesn't 'exist'. If you complain about someone ninjaing an item, they didn't technically do anything wrong according to SE's rules of need/greed.
    My understanding is that ninjalotting can be reported, and (after log investigation) GMs will remove the ninjaed item from the offender's inventory.

    I would be in favor of this, as well.

    I'm not sure if this solution already exists, but all they would need to fix your issue would be to have unlotted items drop to people who didn't click Pass. Then you would have the following 4 categories:

    1) Need
    2) Greed
    3) (didn't pass)
    4) Pass

    Items would only hit the floor if everyone actually passed.
