Your market orders and research points should stop if the account is inactive. After all, with market orders up you can make money while your account is expired. With research points you can continue to accumulate them while your account is expired, and when you re-subscribe you come back to a fat amount of RPs that you can cash in for ISK. That is entirely inconsistent with the ghost training thing.
If CCP wants to remove ghost training then they should also remove market orders from inactive accounts, and stop inactive accounts from acquiring RPs.
Dividend payouts to inactive shareholders as well, those should be stopped.
Also GTC's must not be usable on an inactive account. If you want to reactivate an account they you have to pay in cold hard cash. This is the only way it can be fair to everyone because the benefits of having isk should accrue only to paying players!

If skill training suspension for inactive accounts is logical, there's no reason why this shouldn't be also.

This is logical. To some extent, more logical than removing 'Ghost Training,' which serves as a carrot to entice people to come back to the game if they have to leave for a while.
I don't know about market orders, though -- I'm not a programer, but it seems like it might be hard to do it in any way other than cancelling all orders, and if your account lapses for even a day . . . well, yeah.

Also, character inactive for longer than a certain time period (to be determined by Devs, of course) should be deleted. They're getting to use DB slots for free to the detriment of people paying for the game.

Capsuleers who actively put their time and energy into working on their characters should reap the benefits of the game, not inactive ones. TIMExENERGY=PROFIT! NOT TIMExINACTIVE=PROFIT!

Yes. If you're going to do something, then you need to be consistent.

Not much else to say. The value of RP items have gone drastically down with all these old unsubscribed accounts pulling them in. A player just has to reactivate the account and has access to upwards of years worth of RP. That kind of passive unsubscribed income must not be allowed.

Maybe allow a few days for forgetfulness then make all characters on unsubbed accounts completely inactive.
No rp gained
Suspend market orders
No bpo research

Proposal makes sense. On the other hand, you left out outstanding contracts. Presumably they should be cancelled as well. If CCP want all or nothing, than all or nothing it should be. Supported.

Or you could send the money to the SCC or some such black hole which would make a great ISK Sink hole. ^_^

Might as well do this, since if an account doesn't train while unsubbed there's not much of a reason to keep an alt around.

These are arguably worse than Ghost Training, in that they generate ISK, the real bread and butter of Eve, without any subscription or effort. I'd elaborate but I already wrote a bunch of words about it in like three different threads so whatev

Why let people make isk without paying for it if they can't train skills without paying for it.
