And also: if you can't probe down a cloaker you're doing it wrong? plz be so kind and enlighten me what ways there are to probe a cloaker.. oh wait.. NONE. 
Clue company called, but it wasn't for you.
Cloakers are fine - at least they die when they jump through the gates. Cov. ops and Rapiers are hard - but I have seen very efficient tactics on killing them.
But all in all - 0.0 is not a happy la-la land, you got to protect your territory. Unless the enemy got a whole AFK cloaking GANG in your system, basic precautions for a ratter will save your rear. If you don't know them - you don't deserve to have your Raven intact :)
All these cloaking whines make me want to buy myself a Piligrim :)

I vote to nerf afk cloaking by removing a ship that cloaks from local.
CCP are reworking cloaking-scanning-local mechanics as far as I know.
But I have a feeling that in the end CCP will either:
1) present us with new and exciting TIME GRIND that would give 100% immunity to cloaks.
2) goof it up and make it impossible to find someone in system, effectively removing belt/safespot-ganks altogether.
3) succeed in presenting us with new and exciting system, that would allow pilots to actively compete in hiding/searching for intel, making PVP more exciting by introducing additional strategic dimension - Information.
Probability estimations:
1) 60%
2) 30%
3) 10%

And I know the basics on how to rat in 0.0 with enemies in local, rest assured. And the guy I quoted wasn't talking about killing cloaker ships when jumping into a system. It's about the possibilty to probe cloaked ships in a system.
You missed my point.
You want to kill a cloaker - which is approaching the game from a wrong angle. I want to kill people in NPC corps - well, guess what, I have to sacrifice an un-reimbursable ship to do it and I still can't do it if they are docked.
You should be approaching the game from how it affects you. You should be wanting SAFETY. And My point was - you can get a reasonable degree of safety cloaker or no-cloaker. Just follow the rules. Does a cloaked ship compromises this safety? Well - just as much as ship that has just jumped in from a nearby system, that you had no scout in. No difference.
If you can't handle relative safety that is 0.0 - than tough luck and cry me a river. It is not cloaker's fault, it is yours.
