What I've said, is basically a restatement of what Lead GM Grimmi said in his initial post.
BACON is making use of the Logserver in a way that was never intended. Whilst it may not be a definative violation of the EULA and TOS, that doesn't mean it's something that we're particularly pleased with. As Lead GM Grimmi said "we frown upon the use of this information for any other purpose and we are currently working on changes to prevent this". The Logserver was meant to help solve bugs, not give anyone a viable or quantifiable ingame advantage.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves, and as such we will be responding to BACON in turn. I'm not going to divulge details on the subject, but the simple fact that players will goto such lengths to get an edge over players disturbs me quite deeply.
I'd love to say that EVE should be all that we need, but as has happened in the past, as players find external third party tools that they deem invaluble, such as TeamSpeak and Ventrillo, we deal with them in kind, as with EVE Voice. Each is dealt with based on the merits of the case, at the time. BACON and any similar tools will be dealt with as we see fit, in a manner we hope will resolve the situation satisfactorily. This should close the matter, I hope, but if you wish to continue constructive discussion on the matter I'll be keeping my eye on this.
Additionally, please stop making all these silly little threads on the same topic. It's a waste of everyone's time when they can be consolidated into one main thread. 
Fair enough you want to change it because it's taking advantage of the logserver in ways you never intended and I respect and understand that, I would never use this anyway. Only problem I have is that CCP never done anything about these programs in the past when big Alliances were using similar programs. Now that Gunfleet has brought it to the masses you want to finally stop it. If you are talking about balance and fairness why didn't CCP start working on the problem before it was shown to the little guys of EVE?
