Welcome New Eden, where devs laugh at you when you complain to them about being scammed.
If the mechanics allow it, then it's fine. CCP will turn around and say "oooh, weren't you clever, we won't punish you but we'll stop you from being able to do that".
This game rewards you for being clever, not for being whiny.
Again, no kicking, as there is no long term (match wise) consequence of having recruited a spy, knowingly or not. If they want to sabotage the match, then fine, maybe you lose a district. You can launch a few attacks and take it back easily enough, no harm done. However, if a single spy gets into the game and manages to sabotage a key piece of the game midway through, why not reward him for that? Why allow him to be kicked and cause his actions to have no lasting consequence?
Frankly, if you take people into PC that you can't trust implicitly, you're playing the game wrong.
Much more deadly are the spies who make it into a director spot. They can dissolve your entire corp, and steal all your isk. Beware...
Edit: That isn't to say that I think the mechanics are completely right in its current iteration. Best solution, IMO, is to implement a role that allows people to participate in PC, or something similar. But no kicking. |

Me thinks you making things up that's going on helps your argument none.
No corp was taking un-trusted people. It didn't matter - all you need is an alt - know when the timer for PC is on - then hijack it as the squads get ready to enter.
Other corps will be feeling this burn very soon. If CCP isn't hurrying with a fix - we may as well break this game completely until they do.
Hence my edit 
However, if you're accepting recruits with under 2m SP into a corp that WANTS to do PC, without a proper vetting process or going through a recruitment corp, then you're slightly naive regarding New Eden and this has been a horrid wake-up call to you.
Why 2m SP? Cause it takes a couple of weeks of dedication and constant playing OFF your main to get up to that. Reduces the likelihood that you're a spy.
If you're a top corp and accepting anything less than that... Well. You're probably just trying to boost numbers, aren't ya? |

I have over 7 alts with over 2 mil SP from sitting on passive SP gain since january.
I said reduces, not eliminates  There's always the chance. Hence vetting process. Basing an application on SP alone is not very clever. Bringing someone in to the main corp without you fully trusting them is a bit naive, especially when there's a fair bit at stake. I've come from EVE so I know a little bit about recruiting, but before that I was fairly naive. |
