I, also, do not use the "Punks" detection options or window. After looking through my Carbonite options, I found that on the "Social & Punks" options page, I have both the "Hide punk target button window" and "Lock punk target button window" options checked. Everything else on that page is left unchecked except the option to use the enhanced social window.

I never see anything about punks on my screen or in my chat.

EDIT/ However, after checking the "Punks" tab on the enhanced social window, I did see punks listed there. To clear the tab, simply right click on the "Active" line (that just means you can r/c anywhere in the tab as long as it is on the same horizontal line as the word "Active" to get the menu) and choose "Clear Actives" in that menu. You will notice that nothing really happens, but don't worry, just open another tab and come back to the "Punks" tab, and it will have cleared the actives from the page. I really don't think there is a way to stop that tab from working, unless you open the "Privacy & Com" page and check the "Disable zone channel (you won't know about players or punks in your zone)" option. I'm not positive that will stop it altogether, either, since I've never used that option. No punk notifications show up on my screen or in my chat, so I'm happy with the way it works (or doesn't work, depending on your view point). /EDIT
