Oh, but of course. But you'd have to agree that a subject of such "import" would be prioritized, yes?
Apparently... it's not such a priority after all.

Over 19 months since the Flash Topic - then, apart from Will's post (which included neither an eta nor guarantee), nothing.
It's no doubt of importance to some players - however it was not a guaranteed change, as Sandro said in the flash topic:
and
Oh WOW!!! SDC...the very reliable source of "truth and honor". Well...no...I don't want to blame others for their style of playing this game. What makes you so sure they did ignore the reports? Do you have proof? Did Frontier stated officially that they ignored SDC just...because? Unproven accusitions. But wether they "ignored" SDC or not, it doesn't falsify my suggestion, that Frontier isn't ABLE to sanction c-logging properly now. And it doesn't "proof" that Frontier ISN'T working on to sanction it properly in the future. (DLC? Rebuild?)
So... in other words, OOPP is pretty much a non-subject and diversion/derail of the OT here, which is combat logging?
Yeah, then we come back around to the original question I had which is, how does one determine whether "combat logging" is intentional or accidental?
Torches and pitchforks... Rah, rah, rah! Let's all simply demand something be DONE without providing substantive proof that it's a problem that needs a solution, yes?
Truth be told, it was the worst idea, and the worst flash topic that has done nothing but drive wedges deeper and deeper into an already divided community.
The greatest arguments and most heated debates have spawned of this, and it has done no one any good, and only served to spawn even more division and derision since this ill-conceived notion was mentioned.
I hope very much that nothing of this ever comes to pass, as it will mark the beginning of the end, and I will walk away at that point.
Guess it depends on which meaning you want to go with here:
sanc·tion
/ˈsaNG(k)SH(ə)n/
noun
1. a threatened penalty for disobeying a law or rule.
"a range of sanctions aimed at deterring insider abuse"
2. official permission or approval for an action.
"he appealed to the bishop for his sanction"
Sanctioning sanctioned sanctions is tricky business.
yanking the cable out of the router in an 'oh crap' moment is most assuredly accidental, as you tend to flinch or spin the chair when presented with sudden in game issues, and it's highly likely that cable will be the first to go.
however, a powercut is absolutely a premeditated act of force. Power will never go out by itself, and is therefore a more probable cause of fowl play, take for example a co-conspirator on the end of a radio, he could EMP the local substation so you can keep your 4b Cutter, it's plausible.
I know I helped the thread considerably!

It’s incredible this thread is still going. The entire premise is redundant - as I have already advised, restrictions on combat logging is not something anyone signed up to in the EULA so there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. If FDev tried to force people to play the game when they do not want to, they would potentially face a damaging legal battle. People can complain and call it cheating, but if people don’t want to play with you then you can’t force them. It’s really that simple. My suggestion would be to behave like adults and get over it.

Fowl play... you just made my day!
Okay...I was not aware of the two-sided meaning of this word in this language...What I meant was the first one.

No doubt, but have to love language some times.
Even more the german language...so many words for the same "thing" some more direct than others and if we don't have any words for a "thing" we're just inventing new ones.
Your declaration does not make a whole thread redundant. However high you may hold your opinion, it is not enshrined as defining all.
Your suggestion is to not have a discussion at all, which makes it curious that you're posting in the thread in the first place.
Yes, my suggestion is there is no point in saying “FDev should do X” as they cannot really do anything. A developer cannot force you to play a game with someone. Once you buy the game it’s your game. Provided you do not breach the EULA, you have every right to play it as you like. My opinion is informed by this fact and my contribution is intended to frame the conversation within the parameters of reality.
So, if an aggressor's connection is disrupted for any reason during an attempted gank, the defender is encouraged to blow up the ganker's disabled and frozen ship that remained in the instance when the ganker's connection was disrupted?
I HAVE to counter you, sorry! Only because you bought some kind of data, this game is NOT yours. The owner of this game is Frontier. You only bought the permission to play the game, nothing more or less. If you would OWN this game you would be allowed to copy or alter it.
But, to be fair. I'm also thinking that those hundreds of threads regarding c-logging are only a "road to nowhere" now. Let's see what the future will hold in it's hands.
Well, one would hope you would be fully familiar with the EULA before informing your opinion on it:
The parameters or reality are not as you have declared. What is considered "cheating" is relevant to the EULA.
Doesn't even have to be roleplay in the style of "Arrrr, I be pirating you!"
Just, you know, some chatting. I'm fine with being shot just because I'm there.
