And from CCP ingame feedbak i know they see this as a flaw as well,
we just need more people to remember them about case, and dont let the trolls ruin another thread.

The answer is not to advocate for a one sided solution, but a balanced answer that embraces the reason why AFK cloaking exists to begin with.

Never forget, this tactic of AFK cloaking evolved as a response to local chat's flawless intel reporting.

It is unreasonable to expect something as powerful as local chat's intel to not have a counter-force balancing it.
This, many times this.

AFKing is a direct response to local and as such 'local' should be fixed either before, or at the same time cloaks are altered in any way.
At the moment, local is intel in easy mode. Making null safer in many respects, than high sec.

Remember this.
Intel from local is a guarantee 23.5/7, whereas the psychological effects from AFKing are not. Blink

New and exciting topic!

Trying to "fix" something that isn't broken is bad hmmkay?

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.
