Seems clear enough: slaving multiple ships to one set of controls is going to be a violation as of New Year's Day. And since CCP can presumably access input logs, and determine how well synchronized a group of ships is, they can make a reasonably accurate determination as to whether a fleet is controlled by a well-coordinated group of players, or slaved to a single player's controls.

By the way, out of curiosity, what's the difference between Input Broadcasting and Input Multiplexing?
(I ask as someone who'd be more likely to use ISBoxer to store frozen veggies than to slave multiple ships to one controller.)

I know I'm late to the party, but isn't the rule basically that multiple ships effectively slaved to one set of controls, by whatever method, so that they all operate in parallel, is against the rules?

In parallel, yes. However, people found a way to do it in series (one after another) and they too are getting punished. Chances are, the local miner in your belt is using round robin broadcasting, or is just fleet warping + alt-tabbing. Be warned that repeated false reports will get your account punished as well.
Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "parallel"; would "acting in concert" be better? Because whether the command entry is parallel or serial, the effect seems to be the same: one person controlling several ships as though they were all locked to a single set of controls. And as far as I can tell, the end result - multiple ships moving in lockstep - is what CCP is trying to smack down.
And ... "repeated false reports?" Where'd that come from?
