Create a new rule, “Gaol”:-
The Gaol is a publicly-tracked list of Thieves; these Thieves are said to be “in Gaol”, and all other Thieves are said to be “Free”.
A Thief who is in Gaol may not take dynastic actions, and is always considered to have a Plan of “Rest” and an Attitude of “One of Us”.
In “Distribution”, replace both instances of “a quorum of Thieves” with:-
a quorum of Free Thieves
And to the bullet list, add two new steps after the second:-
* For each Free Thief, if a quorum of Free Thieves included the string “Gaol X” in a comment on the Haul Post, where X is the name of that Thief, then that Thief is added to the Gaol.
* For each Thief in Gaol, if a quorum of Free Thieves included the string “Free X” in a comment on the Haul Post, where X is the name of that Thief, then that Thief is removed from the Gaol.
A different attempt at fixing Haul quorum: creating a (fairly harmless) place where inactive Thieves can be moved to by a quorate Haul vote, where they take a break and stop counting towards that quorum.

The problem is that, if we could get a quorum of Free Thieves to agree to put the same Thief in Gaol, we could have also had that same quorum to agree to a Haul and not needed the Gaol in the first place.
It’s an interesting idea in its on right for different purposes, though.
