I am cloaking with radio silence right now so that's legit. But I confess that this post is being typed by my forum bot.
Is that bad?

Granted it should take a very long time for actual cloaky ships and less for say a drake with a cloak but both should be scannable with enough time.
I am talking 20 minutes.
One probe to find a player and put you on the same grid. (random 100 ~ 200km distance from them)
Another probe that can find a player with a slow moving probe that basically explodes and decloaks them.

PS - can only use a covert OPS to find the cloaky ship.
IF someone is truly AFK they can be found. if not well the chances would be almost 0.
Props for contributing a post with substance in a GD troll thread, even though I don't really agree.
There are two types of ships. Ones that use a cov ops cloak and everything else.
For the ships like cov ops and T3s that are specifically designed to be undetectable, I'm inclined to go the complete opposite of what you suggest, but with the same end result of not annoying the locals and making them cower in fear behind their POS shields. I think these ships should live up to their name and be completely undetectable. That means not showing up in local at all. I would also like to see Black Ops included in the ships that can fit a C/O cloak but that's another topic.
For the other ships that just slap a cloak on because they can, I'm not so sure. Make them able to be probed out? That might be a little extreme. I think increasing penalties might be more the way to go. Such as a timer on the cloak or something like that.

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.

It's the fact that they are showing up in local, and not on dscan. Thus, remove cloaked ships(pilots) from local 
Gotcha.
I think we're on the same page here. I've always advocated having any ship that can fit a C/O cloak not show up in local unless they choose to converse with the local wildlife.
