So basically 1 is a glitch, 3 is an abused safety feature and 2 is a CCP error somewhere. 2 - Almost impossible to prove and the time it was proven in your above scenario the GM placed them in a station which he later escaped from using the exact same tactic. I'm going to assume a little something here. That the people supporting this thread are low-sec null-sec primarily. So I will reserve any vitriol for those I consider deserving of it.
As you said, there really is not way to stop the "logoffski" trick w/o punishing people who are not using it. (A friend was a victim of a dropout a couple of nights ago and CCP gave him the usual - we had no lag no our system so it was yours, tuff luck.)
I am going to surpise myself and support this proposal, my first, even though I'm a newb carebear/mission runner right now. I've been nailed in low sec 2 days into the game, can-flipped, had some attempt to gank me and had ninja-salvagers in my corp mates missions. These are people generally associated with pirates and low sec/ null sec dwellers. I'm going to support this anyway. I'm doing so really for one reason only, its a flaw that should be fixed. Even if I consider other areas of the game to be broken, some of which I cannot think of a fix for anyway (not really despite the threads about them), and I'm currently on the dead opposite side of you, they should at least fix fix this. So often it seems the don't want to fix, or rebalance or even improve the damned font! Maybe if I can get them to setting people to fixing problems, they will eventually get around to mine. (Well, that and I want to be able to use your own tactics against you in the near future.:D
One above poster was correct though. This really should have found another way to raise this issue w/o detailing what action is taken. If I had the opportunity to use this against someone who had tried to gank me or ninja salved me, I would in an instant. Just the thought of them spitting on their monitor in frustration brings a smile to my face.
Good Luck with this.
