1) Setting up a friends list with your buddies or your other accounts and feeding them points.
2) Rage quit - doing it out of spite
3) Trying to get demoted to Bronze and then re-activation all the cards that got to the playoffs in Diamond and ruining it for all the legitimate Bronze teams.
I personally don't like any of them.

I thought tanking and winning are within realm of the same discussion. People tank to get relegated so they can win. By changing the promotion/relegation rules it is entirely possible it would discourage tanking. Not my idea for promotion necessarily, but winning and losing are directly related.
But if that's too off-topic:
Personally tanking makes zero sense to me. I'm too competitive. Furthermore, if you lose you get less points and take longer to get better. So I don't see any advantage of one deferring points to next week that one can be winning right now.
