Q u o t e:
So I ask Blizzard, is this perfectly acceptable because by your inactions, you are telling players that this is perfectly acceptable behaviour.
What behavior? The Master Looting determining who will receive the items that drop? That is how the Master Looter system is designed. There are a few different looting options that were put into the game by our Developer, Oddfish, the Master Looter system is meant to be used by people who have reason to trust one another.
The fact remains that what you term "ninja looting" which is technically to take an item that you are not qualified for, is not possible within the game. Now in cases where we believe a scam may have taken place and it is reported to us, we will look into the report and take what actions are appropriate.
Q u o t e:
Maybe Blizzard should just post that this is an okay practice so that we can all get in on the action?
Instead, perhaps you can gain a better understanding of how to use the different looting options and take steps to protect yourself.
What are the differences between group loot settings in the World of Warcraft?

Obviously with no meaningful enforcement and no stiff penalties, it seems that the reward is worth the consequences.
Well first off, it is not a good idea to believe someone when they talk about what actions may or may not have been taken against them. The truth is rarely a part of that discussion.
Otherwise, MS > OS is not generally considered a looting rule. I'm sorry, Oddfish, but if that was the extent of it, you might want to review Barolas's advice and the advice found in the link I provided.
