I have a simple idea how to prevent the "precoding" problem: Announce the theme when the game jam actually starts, not beforehand.
This. And make the theme specific enough that you can't really precode libs. Although I suppose general utility libs (like modlib) could still be precoded (and kept closed-source until release so that others can't use them).

And why not just not treat people as if they were criminals?

It's a contest, not a trial. Please, more concern in creating more and better games and not in accessory things.

Announcing a jam theme the second the timer starts is actually the most common thing for jams.

I would prefer if there was no theme or if it was really loose. Themed game jams are boring and I already have an idea for a game I could make.

Probably for the next contest I will adapt my old Android card game made in Renpy, Crazy Eights (Uno).

You will have to beat opponents, with 3 levels of AI. And very crazy card players.

I'm pretty sure that means the reply was deleted or moved (possibly because it was off-topic, spam, or otherwise).

I normally wouldn't reply to it, but the bot first posted a regular comment with a Minetest question, but it made no sense and looked auto-generated. Then, after I quoted the user's comment, the bot edited it with some advertisement.
