Seems to still work.
I recommend nerfing it such that one can only cloak when FKA.

To get a serious rebuttal in early:

If you "fix" afk cloaking, they'll just use a macro to stay cloaked. If you prevent that, they'll make a dozen safe spot bookmarks and run a macro to warp between them 23 hours a day. if you're that afraid of a low-skill alt idling in your system, they will ALWAYS be able to get you to keep your head down.

Those of us who have spent a lot of time in wormholes aren't accustomed to the luxury of knowing who is in system, and continue to do our work without that sense of security some people seem to need. And we can carry on for months without being ganked...because we learned to be safe without the crutch of local.

No, I'm not advocating for nullsec's local to be removed. I'm fine with it being there. I just want the people who really do seriously whine about afk cloaking to get a reality check and understand how good they have it with their sovereignty and their local channel.

The problem is that AFK cloakers once there in system are almost impossible to catch unless there idiots no way to scan them down no matter how good your skills, no timer that runs there cloak out, or cloak cool down, its just click and step away and cause annoyance for locals,

IF IT IS MY SYSTEM shouldnt my sov have some form of intel upgrade or station ping to uncover said AFK cloakers or atleast make it possible with enough skilled pilots.

The only thing we really need is a module, missile, or bomb that when cycle releases a tachyon burst that decloaks targets within its area of effect. In games I'm not so big on things that don't have counters, and the cloak currently fits that in EVE.

Pro-tip...

It isn't your system.

Cloakers have counters. They're called "balls". Be alert, go about your business. Bring a friend. Use DScan and keep your eys open. Want to afk while mining? Too effing bad. You're doing it wrong and deserve to get popped.

Damned whining kids wouldn't last ten minutes in a hole. In my days we didn't even have DScan. You had a buddy sit on the front of your ship with a pair of binoculars AND WE LIKED IT!
