Why are you scared by 1 AFK cloaker? surely if he's afk he's no threat? And if he isn't afk he's relaying intel anyway?
I have a solution for you.
Undock?

For the love of Kernite!
I've never seen one issue in EVE that made both Carebears and PVP people equally whiny.
Amazing.
CCP- don't change a single thing about cloaking please. The entertainment value presented by neurotic miners makes the game *much* better.
*click* <disappears>
your sarcasm skill only seems to be at lvl 1.

It dosen't affect me in the slightest as I mostly live in empire, but people have complained about it though, and as the current mechanics of local allow it to see everyone who is in system and actually affect gameplay somewhat I consider it abusive for people who have more accounts than time to just sit one in a key system and disrupt the ops of everyone else. It's like having a free spy/threat into enemy activity with 0 effort.

If you are aware that I have made gamemechanic change threads before you are aware that I also propose a change in the mechanics of local in lowsec, and this cloak tweak fits in with those, if they are both implemented a rather lame form of gaming is removed from the game and is replaced by the far more interesting mechanics of dedicated scout ships.
we already have dedicated scout ships. Covert Ops. Ever flown one? If not try it and scout in 0.0 before you want to make changes to cloaking.

You said it yourself. You live in Empire. Mechanics and problems associated with them are derived from actual experience rather than theory.
I have never feared afk cloakers because they are AFK.
I'd trade 1 cloaker in any system for alliance intel channels

Most people that will stoop low enough to ghosting in a system aren't gonna have an issue with using a macro to get around your solution to the problem.
I've been in systems what ghosters that exhibit behaviour that screams macro, around/online 23 hours a day, only actually active within the system during specific periods yet at all times outside of those periods if the user is disconnected from eve they return to the game and cloak up within a couple of minutes.
Maintaining a cloaked presence as a psychological attack is a valid, but it should only be available to those that are willing to pay a price for it by sitting at their alt account rather than leaving it afk. The true underlying issue is that there's no negative effect to the user to set his alt up in a system and leave it afk.
If what you say is true then the solution is to undock and ignore them lol?
