Since CCP created the feature to anchor containers around POS's you cannot accuse Azia for using this as an exploit or cheat. And as a member of the Science and Trade Institute she pays her taxes to anchor stuff in space.

Originally by: Deadspace Acquisitions It would seem to me that goons have a history,...
...that she is fundamentally cheating...
...has clearly broken this risk/reward mechanic...
Firstly, 'goons' have a reputation for attempting to ruin other peoples' enjoyment of any game they choose to invade as has been stated by their members on multiple occasions, and who are themselves infamous for cheating and hacking in other games. There is no 'noble calling' at all, they are simply griefers and exploiters themselves and quite proud of that fact.
Secondly, there is no 'cheating' involved with regard to the cemetery. To be clear: a 'cheat' or 'exploit' is something that benefits the player in some tangible way that contravenes the intentions of the designed mechanics. While the protections afforded to the graves by CONCORD mean that they are themselves protected from War Dec, the tower isn't and once that falls a herculean effort is required to deal with the fallout of the (literally) hundreds of graves before the system countdown is completed. In truth, it would actually be less time- and energy-consuming if the graves had been destroyed.
Incidentally, you seem to misunderstand the concept of 'risk vs. reward'. The concept relates to the acquisition of wealth and rare and valuable items, not to social activities such as RP'ing. The cemetery itself isn't just a non-profit venture, it is actually working at a sustained loss since the investment in ISK, time and effort in setting up, maintaining, defending, then saving and re-anchoring the graves after certain people decide they want to get in the news again is not something I can overemphasise. There is a great deal of behind-the-scenes work people don't consider when they see the cemetery as a mere 'RP' eccentricity.
The cemetery itself generates no financial profit besides any donations that supporters might voluntarily bestow. It serves no tactical or strategic purpose. It causes no hindrance or impedence to anyone, nor does it (as has been fraudulently claimed) cause lag in the system. The venture is simply intended to add something different to the world of EVE, something to talk about and stir the imagination. Anyone that cannot see this and would seek to take that away due to some personal bias or misguided claim of 'exploit!' is being extremely short-sighted and polarised.
EVE isn't solely a sterile PvP-centric game any more, it is also increasingly a rich and vibrant sci-fi canvas for people to enter and create their own stories and legacies. While you may be one of those who see the game in terms of black and white, 'PvP or carebear', there are an increasing number of us that want more from EVE. I include CCP in this since they have stated they wish EVE to be a multispectral sci-fi simulator with enough facets for a wide variety of play styles. Part of this vision are the 'RP' and social aspects, so often villified by the 'hardcore PvP' crowd, but no less valid or important to the universe we share. Incarna is set to expand upon this.
In closing, I applaud the efforts of Azia Burgi and the EVE Cemetery corporation in their efforts to add a little colour to this dark and oft-times dismal universe. Their steadfast persistence and determination in the face of such hostility and closed-mindedness is an inspiration to all of us that may dare to dream of something 'more' than what is presented to us every day. I look forward to visiting the new and improved cemetery, and perhaps even resting there one of these days. :)

Yup, I always like to extract more tears from kids who take the game too seriously.

I disagree.
It's our choice to act as headstone defiling hooligans and kick over Azia's tower every time she puts one up. But if you want to focus on the risk-reward aspect alone...
An npc corp character cannot anchor a tower. But in this case an npc corp character is taking advantage of the presence of an anchored tower that isn't in the npc corp, to make their cans do something that they could not do otherwise.
Where I'm standing that looks like an exploit. CCP didn't give NPC corp players to anchor structures, so why should their cans be able to enjoy the persistence granted by a player corp tower and the nigh invulnerability of an npc-owned can?
The *fix* would be for CCP to simply make anchored tower benefits not work for objects not owned by the same corp/alliance.

You totally mis-interpreted my comment. The "I know...you're who ?" was not directed at Azia in the least. It was intended for the trolls that I expected to follow my posting with that particular comment.

Just corpses, although some more small secure cans would be wonderful.
