How would you deal with 3rd party software communication, like Discord?

Can you be a bit more specific on 'abuses'.

I too would like to hear what these "abuses" are.  I know many players would use a second account to;  access stuff from other nations, add warehouse space, dock space, increase the amount of stuff that can be crafted, transfer from shallow draft ports to deep water ships, deliver larger quanities of stuff, etc.  These are all great mechanics.  If a player has the time it expands the options in game.  Gamelabs gets more cash from selling extra accounts.  There is no downside. 

  What is this abuse you speak of?  If you are referring to a player attacking his own alt and farming rewards; would that not show up as a cheat the same as if it were two players collaborating?  It is the action that is bannable  not just using an alt account: doesn't matter if it is one player with two accounts,  or two players.  The offence is international mutual co-operation in a battle to gain XP etc.

I have only one account.  I do not have time to use an Alt.  I only play casually.

This suggestion is narrow minded.  

I enjoy trading and fishing.  I would love to conduct international trade: (example-  buy Copper from Russians).  It's a lot of fun to find resources for a good price and transport them back to a friendly port and sell them to my nation's shipwrights, and crafters, for a reasonable price.  It's been a fascinating challenge in Naval Action for the last 5 years.  I can help out my nation and sail exciting player-to-player trade runs.  Trading in foreign ports is high risk, but  thrilling.  Your suggestion reduces gamplay and limits opportunities for traders.

I also have  some good friends that are in other nations.  These friendships have never been a threat to my nation's ability to wage war.  Some other nations are not always at war with us.  Even during battle the other nations often have willing honorable opponents, only those players with defective personalities are offensive. 

Reducing communication increases toxicity.

I would like to bring back the ability to send messages to enemy players on the OW.

Would that enable the possibility to start trading with the enemy in the OW from ship to ship? If yes, then I guess this feature won't come back at all
