If I took a cruiser and loaded it with logistic drones and went after mining barges by using the logistical support drones to help the NPC's rats would that be considered as cheating or and exploit? I would like GM coments as well as from players on this one please.

It's even funnier when you do it to NPCers with blockade missions.

I don't see a single reason why would that be an exploit. The worst thing that can happen is you get some rather interesting mails and/or local chat ;)

Your best way to get a GM response would be to use the petition system.

If you point with fingers at them an laught about their misery you have a good chance to get a ban. If you make a profit from it you wont.

That sounds like pure greifplay.
You gain nothing but kicks and laughs.
People who do that **** need to grow up fast:/

Long ago one gorgeous night, we let the stars grow free.
We let Zhuge do that once, he came back carrying a traffic cone, a forsale sign and three empty bottles of dutch lager. He also lost his Zimmer Frame... - Imaran

And what if you have a character that roleplays a Serpentis sympathiser and pirates in gallente space? You are perfectly within your rights to warp in and aid your allies with remote repairers and logistics drones if possible, even if they would normally shoot at you. It is not ALWAYS grief play, it's a perfectly viable avenue of play for some.
The problem is if it's possible in high sec. Should concord pop you for aiding a criminal? It doesn't pop the NPCs for being criminals, so why should they pop the people aiding them? But that one's up to the devs, I have no say in it either way and I'm not sure how it currently works in-game.

With CCP having to reset the petition queue every few months is it the best idea to tell everyone with a slightly off the wall question to petition it?
An expolit
The common definition of an exploit is ôto use the game mechanics in such a way as they were not intended for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage over other players.
The fact EvE game mechanics allow people to be scamming murdering bastards in 1000's of ways, I hardly see how number 1,001 mentioned above could be an exploit. Afterall using logistics drones to heal something does seem to be their intended use.
Sure, they are normally used to fix players but I thought EvE was about open ended content and innovation.
Long story short, no GM in their right mind could consider this an exploit. You better have a profit motive for it though or someone may call you a griefer.
So stop fostering a petition culture ISD
(please )

Actualy, if they are AFK/macro miners, the rats kills the barge and you walk away with the loot.

There is no known way to grief in EVE.

You can allways ask the mission runner to pay you to stop. Sadly not many mission runners will agree as they dont no math.

Ppl that write something like that don't know what games are about.

Of course he can't. Due to the forum rules, it'll be deleted. So the only way, logically, for all of you to get an answer is to file a separate petition each and clog up the petition system.
Go CCP! 
EDIT: Actually, that's not fair. I know why that rule is in place. People used to post fake Gm messages saying what they were doing is not an exploit and people left them alone. You need a dev/GM/ISD to post it on the forum before you can be sure of its authenticity.

EDIT: If you petition, petition it under exploit and tell them an ISD told you to do so and you would like to have a senior GM deal with the petition. Then resubmit if answered by anyone else. A junior GM has neither the knowledge nor the ability to diagnose undocumented exploits but they try anyway.
Follow the proscribed order of petitions, not what someone who perceives themself as an "expert" thinks please.
