So with all this knowledge we all have and slush has. and the hardware and software we have. Could there not be like a failsafe timout. So if the pool notices someone hopping or adding and removing hash power constantly and not keeping it at a steady one. Decreasing the luck and the quantity of solving blocks in a 1-2 days.

I mean I'm sure there is away to track those kind of things. I'm actualy certian. So if someone from a certain IP is doing that.. The Server thrown a few hour timeout period. This would have to be over 2-4 times in a daily basis.

The server would learn who is hopping the most or who is adding and removing hashpower on a daily/weekly basis, which then tells the server who to watch out for and to throw a timeout on them if it happens to often.

It could work. I know it can

Fluctuating hashrate has nothing to do with pool luck, gaining and losing hashpower will increase and decrease our chance of finding blocks but still does not affect our luck.

Luck is luck, ok. So go solo mining if the hashrate don't influence it.
1 Petahash , this is not cat pee .

You're rolling a 6-sided die, and counting how many times you roll a 5.

If you are rolling it 6 times a minute, you'd expect to roll one 5 per minute.
If you roll it 12 times a minute, you'd expect to roll two per minute.

Adding or removing hashrate is akin to rolling the die more or less often, which changes the number of 5s you will roll. Luck on the other hand is difference between what you expect to roll (one 5 per six rolls) vs what actually happens.

When people leave the pool, we are less likely to find blocks, that's obvious. However, when we do find a block there is less people to split it over and so your payout per block is the same. Having a larger or smaller pool has no effect on expected payout, no effect on luck, but will affect variance.

Also, luck is a human made measurement of past performance vs the expected. "Luck" has no bearing on future events regardless of what superstitious people think. That is why casinos rack in the cash.
