No, it's only Solo mode. Neither PG's nor blocking can make PvP totally optional (you might be attacked in a PG as well, and you cannot block everyone else).

Hey don't discount Solo, never challenge the Mistress that you think you are untouchable there - if you incur the wrath of her she might just unleash the minions she has in reserve …..

Technically a PG too - with only one member.
Then there's the fact that access to a PG can be limited to those deemed worthy of trust with regard to not engaging in PvP.
Not even Solo mode, I recall at least one patch where players would launch into Solo, and found another player instanced with them.
I'd have to dig about, but yeah while a bug, even Solo might not be safe
One person is hardly a group, but okay
And yeah, there are a number of other factors like trusted ppl in PG or the sheer size of the Galaxy, but none of these will guarantee that you won't be attacked by someone else. And if you are under attack and you clog, that's cheating, plain and simple.

The thing is NO ONE is saying it isn't cheating, just it is beginning to appear that it isn't a big a problem as some here are saying and that it effects only a very small minority of playersOne person is hardly a group, but okay

Big problem for some, not so much for others. But the same can be said about the majority of issues.
Instancing bugs and other problems, navlock bugs, the missing target triangle bug, the lame canopy mechanics etc. are all serious problems for me, utter non-issues for explorers.
The FSS mechanics in untagged systems is apparently a severe problem for some people, I don't even really know what the acronym might stand for (it's a bit of an exaggeration ofc).
But what remains unanswered is: what is the problem? What effect of combat logging is the problem?
Because griefers CLog too.
Fine by me. Why would anyone care?
Funny thing I asked that very question earlier and never got an answer from those complaining either. I will be looking forward to the answers you get Ziggy.
You get attacked, you retaliate, they CLog to avoid their comeuppance.
White Hats policing a system to drive out griefers can't be effective.
So you got rid of him, well done.
What difference would it have made if he'd high waked, or got destroyed?
But when the griefer combat logs, the griefer is also driven out of the system. If he would have high waked, he can come back as well.
Look I get the unsportsmanship of clogging, I get it's cheating because Frontier says so. But I fail to understand the impact and consequences of clogging which makes this a big problem.
combat loggers?
just have them hanged, drawn and quartered , than display their bodies on the 4 largest stations in the bubble.

what effect did L Armstrong doping had on you?
in case it had no effect on you, would you say it was totally fine what he did?
You're acting as if I said: if it doesn't affect me, it's no problem. I didn't say that, so I'd appreciate not putting words in my mouth. I'm asking what the problem is.
Maybe try answering the question?
You cannot claim their bounty, their cargo or the kill itself, nor your well deserved ARX for it. Your time and efforts are wasted, and all that because of cheating, which is unacceptable in a multiplayer environment.
I'll bite.
This is a video game, not a professional tournament with prize money at stake... so whatever he does in his personal time would be totally fine with me.
