As someone who lived in highsec for a solid year, 100% of my favorite EVE memories took place in null.
Once you experience the freedom, you don't even think about looking back.

If you think there is no problem with it, why do you want it fixed? AFK cloakers can't hurt you.
Saying this screams "I don't understand the mechanics of nullsec or warfare with limited information."

Saying this screams "I don't understand the mechanics of nullsec or warfare with limited information." I understand it perfectly, but a person who is afk can't exactly do anything to hurt you.
Continue to broadcast your complete lack of understanding.
Is it willful ignorance or just ignorance?

Please enlighten us all about how a person who is AFK is hurting your game play.
If you feel you can't do anything with an AFK cloaker in your system, then it's all on you. There's plenty of people that find ways to continue activities regardless of an AFK cloaker.
Granted that most people don't & would rather complain about it or stop playing.
"AFK Cloaker" is a name. The act is simply remaining cloaked in a system. It causes some players to become overly cautious.
The entire point, and the only reason it is something people do, is because of the fact that it is impossible to discern what the cloaker is doing. He could be a bomber looking for an easy gank, a scout reporting intel, a cyno waiting for an opportunity to bridge a hostile fleet in, anything really. Players who aren't used to this ever-present threat become nervous and may even refuse to undock. In the middle of a war, an excessive amount of cloakers in system can mean a whole lot of things, and ops sometimes need to be planned around them to misdirect the enemy, bait them or avoid detection.

AFK cloaker is the name for people that sit in a system cloaked for 23.5 hours a day & never actually do anything, which seems to affect people more than people doing the above. The above scenarios are not AFK cloakers, they are people playing the game.
You're arguing semantics and further proving my point.

If arguing facts makes you feel this way, then I don't know what to tell you.
Use your damn brain, man. I refuse to believe it is this hard for you to grasp such a simple concept.
It is a name. The whole point is that no one except the pilot "afk cloaking" knows if he is afk or up to something. That is literally the only reason it is a viable tactic. afk cloaking does not specifically refer to the case of the pilot actually being afk.

I see what you're trying to say but generalising doesn't make you correct any more than insulting some one that disagrees with you does.
Dealing with willful ignorance is very tiring and honestly I have no patience for it.
