Not that I know of, but you can edit the renown penalty for sinking a neutral to zero, which many players do because it's unlikely that any RL commander would have been called on the carpet for sinking a neutral ship traveling in a convoy protected by the enemy's navy. If nothing else, it would be easy enough just to hit one by accident in that situation, even if it wasn't the ship you were aiming for when you gave the command to fire. Editing the renown award/penalty to zero means that you don't get renown for it when it happens, but you don't lose any either. There's no reward for sinking neutrals "just because" but also no penalty for sinking them by accident or because they appear to be supporting the enemy.
Some people do edit the renown to give a reward for sinking neutrals, and then exercise the appropriate discipline regarding when and where such an attack would be justified (a neutral in an enemy convoy, or clearly taking supplies in and out of an enemy port - whatever).
