I'm actually shocked at how much I have read about this problem on here. My circle of friends created what we call the "Poker Club" and drafted a rule set that we all signed. According to our rule set, his hand would be dead just as you enforced. But to avoid people doing that, I would say hurry up and draft something that everyone signs and post it in the room that you play in. Also whenever we have a proposed rule change (i.e. buy in amount or blind structure), we take a vote. Not saying it's the best way, but it works.
