I may have misphrased slightly, but I wasn't excluding the point that one or two of them may have been individually awful - more highlighting that a large part of it was the volume.
But even if I concede your point, if the industry can't determine how to resolve this "unintended consequence", then the only answer is to stop the practice.
I don't know if you're aware of the problems involved in coordinating action in a competitive industry, but it's really quite hard, for legal reasons as well as because of the competition. So it's very easy to say that it should stop, much less so to figure out how to do so. As I said.

How about amending "In cases involving personal grief or shock, enquiries and approaches must be made with sympathy and discretion and publication handled sensitively.", to read "In cases involving personal grief or shock, enquiries of those involved will be co-ordinated by IPSO, in order to avoid further distress or the perception of harassment caused by the method, nature or volume of individual approaches."?
