PvP An Investigation Into Frontier's Actions on Combat Logging, Part 2

If this is so common why isn't FDev email servers crashing under the weight of all the clog reports?
I'm not saying it isn't common but if it were a real issue and the people complaining so much in threads like these were logging all encounters as they are claiming then FDev would have a metric ton of work to do. It wouldn't go unattended.
Ultimately you are exactly correct. Too bad you didn't start this thread.
Unfortunately it started off with two strikes against it:
1) SDC (of all groups!!) waving a in-game morality flag. Can't get more ridiculous then that.
2) Super-scientific CL sample size of 5 in 5 months. Almost as good. This proves...what?
CL is "cheating" and it is wrong. But who cares? That subset of player types (PvP'er) who do absolutely nothing to help themselves on this forum. That's not to say a few are not rational but after making a valid point (unlike here) their PvP fellows have to jump on and ruin the original point with inane arguments and examples.
I don't PvP - I can't - my internet connection doesn't allow it and occasionally struggles with PG but I support the PvP quest in that Open is Open. If you don't want to be ganked, engage in PvP combat, or have your T7 blown up by an Engineered FdL, then why the hell are you in Open? So you fly in Open and then CL when the going gets tough?
I would be very curious who is actually CLogging. The trader minding his own business or the PvP'er who bit off more then he could chew. I have my suspicions about who and what your typical CL'er is.
Took a little searching to find this again and then it dawned on me, they don't want to damage the games image so where oh where can they hide this!
Ah right... this dark corner...

Then you probably haven't heard of the PvP hub. Discord server with 800 members and various channels with matchmaking bots that create randomized teams based on each player's winrate and number of fights. We operate in our own system and do nothing but organised wing fights against each other in engineered ships.
A few trash-tier gankers have ragequit it because they prefer killing randoms at CG's, but they're a tiny minority and a laughing stock of the rest of the PvP community.
Come check it out if you don't believe it: https://discord.gg/JmrZNVf
Apparently so. What a truly poor show from the mods. Their anti-PvP bias is so strong it blocked out their ability to use their brains. Gee, I guess we're not playing a game with a shared BGS whereby you can put influence numbers in that should not have existed via combat logging to bypass the game's intended purposes. Oh won't this be fun when FD manage to do nothing at all when they buff security responses to prevent the BGS ez win button of security ship killing. Yeah, combat logging totally doesn't affect the PvE side. No worries guys, it's a PvP exclusive issue. It totally doesn't make most of the PvE mechanics in ED a total laughing stock. That's totally why we're taking this discussion off of the front page of our most visble and active part of the game's official forum and burying it. Yep, nothing shady about that.
Yeesh. At this point they might as well cut the hypocrissy and rename the PvP section the "Trash bin" because that's what they obviously created it for.
I'm just trying to figure out which is the most embarrassing: Paige's protestations that fdev really does indeed and truly police the game "secretly" or what seems like 2/3's of the forum base defending clogging, handily using the fact that it's "the bad guys" that are delivering the unhappy newsflash to legitimatize their crummy, cheating viewpoints.
This repulsive twaddle is why I fell in with the PvP world in the first place. I'll take SDC's company any day of the week.

I might not go that far personally, but I'm leaning that way. Luckily, it's not a singular choice between the two extremes.

Makes you want to go out and shoot innocent traders, don't it?
Not really, unless they are bringing [mumble mumble] into [location redacted] and happen to roll up in front of my guns... THEN they are orbital debris, no question!
Repped for that.

FD doesn't police the game - period, exclamation point.
It therefor doesn't matter what the forum or 2/3's of it endorses as it is not an issue.
FD doesn't care at all about Combat logging so why should we?
It is what it is...
Time to just move on
You post a lot in this thread for someone who apparently doesn't care.
Dear God, community...
I've seen less pathetic justification for cheating on Ashley Madison.

Which one, clogging or the 5-1 thing ?.
Not that it really matters cheaters will do both.
That would be clogging, my good sir. The other isn't cheating. Please refer to FDev's guidance on this matter.
The problem is that Ashely Madison probably has more credibility than SDC at this point. Which is setting the bar rather low since most of their profiles are apparently fake.
There is no such thing as an innocent trader.
Because it's a problem that undermines the playability and enjoyment of the game.
FDev's unfortunate lack of consistent enforcement of their rules doesn't give me licence to ignore them, nor does it mean I'll give up hope that they'll eventually recognize the magnitude of the issue and get around to doing something about it.
SDC doesn't need any credibility for the argument they present to stand on it's own merits.
That's the thing about the good points...it doesn't matter one whit who is making them.
The discussion should be about Frontier's enforcement, or lack thereof, of their own rules; not SDC's credentials.
