Please CCP this needs to be fixed!

I have done everything I can; I have tried to ignore them, I have tried to leave and come back at a later time, I have even tried to reason with them! but no matter what I do they are always there, waiting in the shadows for me to let my guard down.

I understand that this might not be as imaginative as some of the many other original ideas that bless theses forums, but obviously a solution is needed to put and end to it one and for all!

I beg of you CCP!

Stop theses horrible people from posting any more suggestions about "How to fix Cloaking" and save the forums from their menace!
If someone is about to post a thread with the words "AFK" and "Cloaking" in the topic, then they should automaticly be redirected to the "F&I Rules" or "Commonly Proposed Ideas" threads before they have the chance to ruin my forum experience!
I mean I'm a part of this game to, why should they get to ruin my fun just because they can't have it "Their way"

+1 from me. We need to fix the "Fix AFK Cloaking" thread issue. It should be a top priority.

Came here to read more renter tears and was disappointed.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

I lose more ships to "AFK cloaking" threads than actual AFK cloakers. I concur and support the OP's topic fully. Lol

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

Support better localization for the Japanese Community.

Very clever ...

Creating a new spam thread with non-constructive content, not supported by the rules. Unless it's a thinly veiled criticism of the moderators.

Actually, it reads like criticism of whinebears who lack the basic netiquette to search before posting stupid stuff.

No, your rights end in optimal+2*falloff

Well, I could say that there is somewhat of an idea contained within, and if people wish to discuss and debate its constituents then that is entity up to their choosing. But I won't condone the actions of those that chose to perceive this in a different light.

Yes, I got the irony, thank you.

However creating spam content in the F&I forum is not the mature way to counter that.

Aye that is true, but it is more effective and fun.

Cloaking is already balanced, if you are so worried that they will get within range, strap on a smartbomb and have fun. Every other week one of these afk anti-cloaking threads gets posted. If you are so worried about it...simply move to another system. We do not need auto-ways for you to feel safer, if you can't handle the potential threat, find safer space.

I'm curious that if this makes it to page two, whether people will read the OP or just skip to the end and help prove my point Pirate

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
