The above post melted my brain.
However, if you do that then people will just get better at gridfu, and put the booster at a pos anyway. You will see them in their WTF grid sitting at 100,000km from your fight, and the grid will earn its name again.

Too many other broken mechanics in eve prevent fixing this.
How this for an easy solution: Each ganglinks blows up your sigrad. 1 will turn a cruiser into a BC, 2 will turn it into a BS, 3 will turn it into a carrier, etc.
6 links, your a freaking titan as far as scanning down.
Combine that with blocking activation of ganklink mods inside pos shields, and oops, now bored scouts have something to do while the fight goes on(your scouts ARE fit with probe launchers, right? that is a pretty basic piece of gear for a scout to have, along with a point, and a cyno if you have hotdrop capabilities)
This would also result in gank boosting being a bit more active because you have to balance your boosts against playing tag with the enemy scout, and the scout gets tos to play tag with the traps. Even pulls extra people OFF grid in a large blob fight

Blocks all (friendly and hostile alike) gang-link communications from off-grid. Just added this idea to CCPs module brainstorming request in Test forum, might be an outright alternative to changing mechanics in the first place if a decent/competitive hull can be found to carry them.
Make them fit in gang link slots ;)

i like the idea of on-grid boosters but how about a compromise?
make pos shields negate any and all boosting effects while on grid with them. so if the boosters want to boost thats fine, but they have to be away from a POS - if they get worried about dying they can warp to a pos but their boosts become negated. simply set the activation so if your within say 300km from a POS they wont turn on?
so u can scan down the booster and do something to them instead of scan them down and watch them laugh at you thru a shield
uh, at 300km with istabs he would still be perfectly safe, and with a BM 350km out, he can bounce back out as soon as you leave the pos area and resume boosting his other toon.
Plus, at 300km even its a slight swerve to get you to chase him into pos tackled/web range(300km, based on having landed on the most annoying version of a death star ever) and you are screwed anyway.

AB in random direction) then the 4-5 probe cycles + repositioning needed to nail one has him way off wherever you land ... they are for all intents and purposes still unprobable. Either way, it is besides the point. No ship (except maybe Titans) should be able to affect anything whatsoever without "being there" .. imagine the "I Was There" crappola video if the pilot used as example was a link pilot .. hilarity 
I was in the system somewhere!

There's not much help if said booster sits 300 km away from you rather than at the safespot. This can make little difference in big engagements and probably in smaller ones as well. If the ship is on grid you can see it and decide if you still want to take the fight. You can't warp 300km away from someone. bottom line: Forcing ships to be on grid will solve the problem.
Learn more grid-fu. It is possible to make a grid that exists in 2 places, with a section between them that is not on grid. warp your booster to the pocket once the enemy has commited, and hide defense ships in the off-grid section between.
