Despite your caps lock, it's a very valid point. There's no reason to expect that the rules enforcement would remain the same through rounds, or that it even should.

Announcing it is the problem you idiot
Obviously, since it makes it impossible to contest it (to claim it wasn't). If you don't announce you're donating someone a free farm, you've not done anything yet despite any potential intent.

Every round as far as i can remember, there has been made loose co-operations, or firm blocks, in order to make the fight for #1 a bit balanced
The problem here is, that the metagame in Planetarion consists of players doing choices with other players and rules enforcement hasn't gone far enough to engage in such activity. A "fair fight for #1" or "balanced wars" as such are by definition going to be very uncommon because it's unlikely the sides are aiming for a fair fight. In fact, odds are, if you want to win a round, you do best by making the fight as unfair to your potential competition as possible. This is why politics and blocks play a large role, and the eradicate that role would require colossal changes somewhere, be that the game itself or some anti-trust regulation (which would already be quite hilarious).
