Know what happened the last time someone was afk in my system? Nothing, because he was afk.

I can tell you that living in a wh, we have about 30+ scouts from other wh corps/alliances logged off in our wh. This doesn't prevent us from doing anything, even though we know they are there.
There should be no reason why you can't do what you need to do. If they uncloak and tackle you, they aren't afk. If they drop a cyno on you, they aren't afk.
Quit being pussies and play Eve.

The whole penalty for using a cloak is that YOU CANNOT attack while cloaked. You can't target someone. You can't point someone. You can't shoot someone. The only way to do this is.....

...you ready?...

...by dropping cloak. I know this is a shocker to the handful of whining carebears, but it's true. Want to know what else is a counter to cloaking? Smartbombs, bombs, cargo containers, asteroids, etc.....So to say it's unkillable is ******* obsurd and shows a complete lack of understanding when it comes to game mechanics.
Lastly, wh space is where you probably find more cloaked ships that anywhere, and we don't have any issue with cloaking as it is.

In WH space there is no local, so everything is cloaked as far as knowing at a glance who is in system. Kind of a poor example. Mr Epeen 
That's my point. So it's not the fact that they are cloaked. It's the fact that they are showing up in local, and not on dscan. Thus, remove cloaked ships(pilots) from local

The main issue here is that there are no counters for a stealthed ship shutting down an entire system and it is game breaking. In null sec I lost count of how many times everyone was banned from ratting or doing whatever they were doing because some guy was in local stealthed.
A good fix for it would to be to make it so stealthed ships can be scanned down with combat probes
yes make it hard to do, make it a pain to scan them down but make it possible.
I beleive this would silence the cries of frustration because the stealther can still be there, he/she can still shut down a system but they will have to be actively playing so that they can warp around to avoid being scanned down and killed. I see no reason why a stealthed ship cant be scanned down.
No.....just no. It's not the afk cloaker that is shutting down the system. It's the people that CHOOSE not to do anything because they are afraid of risk that shuts down a system.
Also, your idea with combat probes would effectively make a cloak useless, and it would ruin the least ****** up part of Eve...wormhole space.

Since AFK Cloaking is the counter to Local as a perfect Intel tool,
Sure, so long as we get a skill that counters Local as well as your skill counters Cloaking.
Game breaking!

indeed it is IF you are actual check your afk cloaker on regular intervals If you are at work or school all day it serves no purpose for you or your corporation only that one day they will do the same to you and you will whine qbout it
I deal with people cloaked in my system on a daily basis. It does not hamper my ability to do anything I want to do. As a matter of fact, it adds some excitement to my day.

Cloaking is already penalized because you can't do anything while cloaked. Now people are suggesting to stack more penalties on top of that.
Limited time on cloaking devices? You have to be on bath salts or something.
Here is my suggestion. Everytime you dock up in station, you get a limited amounted of time to stay docked. After a certain while it starts to charge you isk for taking up a docking port. If you don't pay, it spits you out into space.....Yea, that is about as stupid as your cloaking ideas, you damn babies.
if he is in system with you, move to the next system. If he follows you, he isn't afk. If he doesn't, he is afk and can't hurt you. Jesus H. Christ I am smart.
