AFK cloaking has its own threads, over and over again...and I really wonder why CCP already hasn't implemented THIS.
Why? Because the root issue is that an AFK cloaky (or person docked in station even) is exerting a meta force on the playing field, while not actually being at his computer. It's one thing to be actively playing and cloaky camping, but another entirely to be exerting a 'presence' in a system and a meta force on others gameplay, when you are actually out at the movies with your significant other. Sorry, but there is simply no defending that scenario.
CCP needs to implement an inactivity auto-logoff prompt ASAP, tuning the timeout value to taste (i.e. 15 mins, 20, 30..etc).

Because that would be similar to 'botting', and detectible/bannable offense? Hell dude, if you want to get all anal-retentive on my ass we could just add a captcha to the prompt...you know, fancy new human input verification contraptions?
Ass.

Mr Epeen Yea, but wouldn't they be able to do that with 'decloaking pulses' too? The idea I see floated is a structure emits a pulse to decloak things from time to time. Botters still exist and I wouldn't put it past them. of course that is an opportunity for CCP to remove a botter.
The benefit of an inactivity prompt is it would also auto-log off AFK-docked people, who are also exerting a meta force of presence without actually being present in game. The timer could be tuned to taste, to still allow people time for a bio break, etc; but people not actively playing the game should not be exerting meta forces in game. Period.
