How to get rid of Macros:
1) Remove GTCs
2) Remove "Give ISK"
3) Remove "Trade" in stations
4) Flag all cans as belonging to the dropper's corp (PC Corp only). Concord intervention if "stolen" from.
5) Specifically declare giving of goods/items to non-corp members (NPC Corp only) an exploit and enforce it with tracking.
There. No macroers Of course none of us would player either....

Just blow up anyone with a number at the end of their name, or those who look like they just ran their finger up and down the keyboard to choose their name. Chances are you've found one and, if not, it's their unfortunate luck that they couldn't be more creative so beat them with the creativity stick for good measure. Problem solved.
Deosn't work that way. Due to things like Yahoo requiring you to use unique IM names, etc many players use the same names for their characters so their friends can find them easy. Shoot someone that has a name like John9973 then look and you can probably find find someone with the same Yahoo name that is now ****ed at you....
Only way to find a "true" macro is to look for patterns that spread through multiple areas/regions. Find multiple people mining into cans that are named leet55 in several areas and you have probably found the latest marco program. Even if you find a ship that has been mining for 23 hours a day, 5 days a week and you STILL haven't nessessarily found a macro, but you have found an account sharer which is also against the EULA.
Add this to thefact that the "legitimate" miner that is chattering in local, moving their ship around, controlling their drones to shoot rats, etc might STILL be a macro just because he is tired of manually dragging a the contents of his barge into a can every 3 minutes because the holds on the ships are so small and you have an impossible to police situation.
Its CCP's job to get rid of macros if they want too and will do what they think is needed. Its our job to report suspicious activities to help that job. It is NOT our job to enforce CCP's EULA or find methods of dealing with things that CCP has built into their game and every time you do you are being no better than the gankers that sit outside newbie areas baiting a 1 hour old player.

I was being sarcastic in such that my idea would work equally as well as Channels with Can of the Day names (since the majority wouldn't read it). Though I was serious about beating them with the creativity stick.
I agree with the creativity stick :)
The problem is what you said is one of the accepted methods of proving someone is a macroer, and very flawed. Gankers use it as justification to shoot/gank without verifying their facts
