Macromining is NOT legal. If you see anyone doing it please submit a petition.
I agree with that, however according to the information provided by the OP, and everything I have ever seen, it appears to be "decriminalized".
I've reported macro miners who nothing has happened to...ever
My macro test? Well I invite them to fleet ... no response. I invite them to chat ... no response. I bump them away from the rocks no response. No drones. I fleet invite ... no response. I chat request ... no response. I bump them away ... no response.
I don't care if they ignore me in local. I've gotten mining rigs and mined their rocks ... no response.
Submit a petition is a joke, I can understand it takes time to investigate, but 3 weeks later they are still there.

Sorry let me be clear,
When bumped out of range of the rocks, they fly back to the rocks.
I can't accept that a player would sit there and not respond in some way. At LEAST they would reject the chat request, or block me as a player.
I do not think Macro mining is legal in EvE, I just think that they do not fully investigate anything but the most egregious macro miners.

I was unaware of this blog:

Thank you CCP and those above who linked it.
To the OP imagine if there are 6200 Macrominers that they banned in one event, then they likely sifted those from a reported list of say up to 10,000 or 20,000? due to the nature of the ban, a CCP employee must review each cast. Say it takes 30 minutes to thoroughly investigate someone, likely more, but for sake of argument, then that would take up to 10,000 hours of real time for 20,000 people reported.
I am guessing, and it is unlikely that CCP will tell us HOW they do it, is that they review the people who are reported MOST, so reporting is like voting. Remember report early and often : )
Best,
Apollo
PS I've edited my previous posts in this thread to reflect my new level of understanding.

Here is what I was doing:
Invite then to chat,
Bump them out of range of their mining lasers,
They fly back to the roids,
The chat invite times out.
So given that I afk mine as well, I don't fly back to my rocks if I am not watching my screen.

I see no reason to speak to a idiot bumping you. You will only make him happy to have annoyed you.
Similarly, how you will know if you have been blocked? ESP?
Chat invite, fleet invite, great way to annoy someone and get blocked, bad way to test for macro.
I have in the past been informed that I was being blocked, that was my ESP.
I accept that there are miners who simply choose to completely ignore people. I got into quite a long and somewhat heated conversation with the bloke above in my alliance about macro miners and just ignoring all requests until they time out. Perhaps that is what is really happening here. As to the AFK miners, you have a distinct difference when it comes to play, you are inefficient. You occasionally come back to the machine and say oops there wasn't enough and my lasers turned off. That is a measurable metric of macro miners, the minimum dead time.
Again, I am NOT saying all people who ignore you are macro miners. I do believe as I mentioned above that CCP takes the issue seriously.

you know I've been arguing in game with people since this thread and I now back off my previous hatred.
CCP made mining such that there is no thought required, no "human" reason to be there...
so frack it, mine as you wish, just don't get caught.

Mors,
did you bother reading any of my posts in this thread? or did you just cherry pick this one?
I don't know why you have SINGLED me out, but I would love to hear why.

with that mentality does not surprise me that there are macros in the game
