There's only been one enforced-contract in a while, and it only affected one player, who had agreed to the contract earlier and hadn't noticed that other people could modify it arbitrarily by acting in concert; and it was judged that that trap didn't accomplish anything useful. Generally speaking, the protections against that sort of contract trap are adequate at the moment, although the contract system has sufficiently many other problems that there are plans to redo it, or repeal the whole thing. (In particular, nobody seems to know what the current contract-related gamestate is.) -- ais523
