Time after time we get thread after thread on this subject from ISK obsessed, risk averse players that believe they are entitled to go about their farming without risk, care or precaution.
If AFK cloaking was going to kill EvE it would have done it a long time ago. Abandon your scaremongering , selfishness and your needy entitlement and try developing a backbone, you might find you actually enjoy the game rather than cowering in station.

Appreciate that, its been over thirty years since anyone called me young man 
As to the rest, even if you are new to 0.0 you can at least take intelligent precautions and you should have researched more than the ISK/hr you can make from a system. If you aren't prepared to make an effort to learn about possible hazards and continue to act as if you are living in the HiSec cradle I have no sympathy. When I started out in 0.0 the corp I was with used the standing fleet and active comms system, any problems everyone else in system could warp in to help out. We baited cloaky campers so hard they stopped bothering for the most part because if they landed on one of my corp mates they knew help was inbound.
We didn't always win, sometimes we ran and sometimes we died but our default action was to do something ourselves rather than crawl to the forums and whine how we couldn't undock for three days because there was a red in local watching Netflix. It was also a hell of a lot more fun.
I am no tough guy and players leaving EvE over this type of issue saddens me, it diminishes the game. I am just very tired of people expecting CCP to alter the game to suit their revenue stream rather than adapting and engaging with the game and actually doing something for themselves. I have lost major revenue and business opportunities over the years, some through mechanics changes and some through player actions and I have never felt the need to moan about it on the forums or cried to CCP to pick me up and dust me off. I have picked myself up and got on with the job of rebuilding, the challenge drove me on.
Finally, Interceptor V is in training as we speak and I'm looking forward to the old "Sweep and Burn" intie swarm being considerably more effective than it was. I never could be bothered AFK cloaking myself, I've always preferred a more active playstyle.

There have been tens of sensible ideas that provide a way for cloaking to add content - so many wasted opportunities
Please dont post the dumb 'Someone who is afk can't harm you' or the ludicrous 'Remove local' arguements
The last comment I saw from CCP about cloaking AFK or otherwise was "working as intended". I'd post the link but it has been a long while and I'm having trouble locating it. Apologies for that.
In fact AFK cloaking seems to be doing a fairly good impression of being dead subject from CCPs side as far as I can see. I am lead to believe this by the fact that AFK cloaking threads tend to be shut down almost as quickly as they are opened as redundant and that there hasn't even been a throw away comment by a dev on the subject one way or another in years.
Perhaps if the average AFK cloaking thread wasn't someone whining about how they and their corps moved to Nullsec and suddenly they can't undock and their revenue stream is being impacted by a single individual sat in local it might gain more traction as a subject.
If people are prepared to allow someone watching Netflix or PvPing on another account to keep them bottled in station they should really take a long hard look at the type of space they moved to and why rather than crying to CCP.
