Damn......so I guess the guys who have a family and have a sudden emergency like "Kid just broke his leg, gotta run to the hospital no time to warp to a station...hey cloak button!" deserves and really needs to have his ship found and destroyed?
Not sure what the problem is if someone really needs to go afk for a little while and doesn't have time to dock.

Nonsense. That's the worst defense of afk cloaking I have ever heard.
I sincerely hope that someone whose kid has just broken it's leg is not very interested if he lost a billion or 50 in a ******* game, even one as well-desiged and immersing as EVE.
Apart from that, what if he DOESN'T have a cloak? Maybe we should add an "invulnerability" button in case of family emergencies.
Don't mix eve with RL in this way please, that's bad, bad, bad.
We'll that would be one extreme, but not sure that someone should loose their ship even if they have to run off in a hurry and don't have time to log off. (Even if it's something as trivial as your wife walking in wearing nothing to get your attention)
If you don't have a cloak and don't have time to dock, then you just log off. But still should be some sort of safty buffer for such situations.

I guess the easiest way to fix this without compromising the cloak or forcing everyone offline each time they turn their back for a few minutes is to set an idle status bar that shows up next to a persons name in local.
My main point here is that there is sometimes legitimate reasons for someone to be afk without intending to grief someone.

ctrl+q...if you feel the need to say "OMG I CANT LOG OUT OF EVE" then theres a serious problem
Almost forgot about this thread.....
When your afk, your not actually playing the game....playing the game while afk would require the use of a macro, which is against the rules. Just floating lifelessly in space is not (Attack someone who's afk at a gate in empire then petition CCP when you loose your ship just to test it out.)
IMO it doesn't matter if your in space or in station when afk, if one is against the rules the other should be too, but CCP realizes that at least a large majority of people playing eve has a rl and not all are just a bunch of zombies sitting in front of a monitor all day.
