Making it a bannable offence to raid due to them having contraband is the same sheild once used by farmers, because now they know that one cannot raid them just because they found their contraband, they have almost no reason to fear it being discovered and may farm freely.
It seems counterproductive

All I can say right now is that the contraband system is being worked out with new coding and rules implemented to reduce contrafarming whilst also reducing the confusion amidst contraband raiding.

Rules do not reduce the chance/possibility of people contrafarming. The only thing which reduces contrafarmers is an actual economy which profits more then contrafarming in the short-run.
