I think you're missing the point somewhat... a good proportion of combat loggers are griefers themselves, going about clubbing sideys, n00bs etc.. this in itself would create some emergent gameplay with others trying to combat this, but no... they also combat log and continue to grief... the fact is combat logging is dragging this whole game down on a multitude of levels and stunting its possibilities.
An investigation into Frontier's actions on Combat Logging

Wow, that´s sweet.
So at least I'm on topic?
Sssshh don't spoil their delusions of grandeur! They're saviours lol
This is all oddly reminiscent of the current argument over who should be the UK->USA ambassador
It is clear to me that you only read what you want to read. Is there any point in this thread that I have defended combat logging? No I have not. Nor have I ever said that you were wrong, I said that your methods were damaging.
So you can't make a statement like this...
when you clearly show none of the...
So to sum this up the way i see it.
SDC did their "investigation" and have some proof about it and thats why they called Frontier LIARS.
Frontier responded that from aaaalll those reports they are getting, they just missed those specific ones. Which basically makes them liars not only once, but twice.
Their lame responce was made on reddit and not on these "official" forums, which white knights didn't like at all.
I really don't know which side of the two are worse goooosh.

Fdevs missed those reports because they spend all day on reddit.

That one seems fair and balanced. Even the headline is non-flammable!
Then as Elite runs on a P2P network then perhaps the answer is to have a blocking tool built into the game client so if you are being griefed you just block that cmdr they soon be lonely when they login and see no one playing as everyone has blocked them
Right because delving into insults against me is the way to go
There is nothing damaging about any methods here. The issue is that you had tunnel vision about SDC agenda and griefers looking eagerly for a way to get to kill people again, which does nothing but detract from the core of the issue, which as a whole is much, much wider. I'll tell it like it is, the damage has been done by you.
Meanwhile, as news spreads that Frontier will indeed deal with Combat Loggers, Open Mode becomes more empty and desolate...
All such a thing would prove by happening is that Open was diseased by the leniency.

When we get the level of "No, you smell!", is it time to call a Godwin?
People who don't want to get blown up by other people, shouldn't log into Open. I know I don't!

Lol, and where have I said this?
I never said anything about what you do in game. Where are you getting this information?

you have no power here but seem to think that stating you are a reddit mod changes something...... I would say that xdeaths response of
is a pretty accurate description of the section of the mos eisley of the internet !!!!
The OP was about not being told the truth .... well you dont have to stay and be "lied" too nobody is forcing you to continue playing a game that is created by a company that in your perception is lying to you
sorry if my response is blunt
This is what I'd love to see personally with known noob griefers auto blocked.
New players deserve a fair chance, not being forced to grind up to the griefers level just to play or being forced to play on their own - it really is the worst possible result.
The ensuing cries for solo/PG to be hobbled to force victims back just underlines how wrong this whole situation is. I can totally understand FDev just binning and ignoring CL complaints from SDC/PvP clan members, but I can't understand them allowing those groups to spoil the game for new players and drive them out of Open.
No it's not.
Have you read the OP?
Starting off with: "it is impossible to get Frontier to change policy or quit lying about their actions" or "but they have lied and dodged every step of the way in order to placate the playerbase" doesn't shout: "Lets have an honest discussion about this" to me.
I am fortunate not to be a company so I don't have to worry about rubbing the people the wrong way, which is a handicap Zac has, so he has to be smooth. If I had been the subject of this, all response anyone, whether it be SDC or any other person or group, would have gotten would have been a two fingered salute and a tip of the hat.

i have to back xdeath here.
He is completely right. The way this agenda is driven is just bad. SDC never could have done something worse in game. It´s very dirty. Trumpy.
And there is one point you don´t seem to understand: Combat logging is mainly a reaction to another problem, which occured before: Getting attacked everywhere and everytime when possible, no matter if any reason behind it, out of proportion, 4 vs 1, seal clubbing..., you name it. Most of these actions are not punished properly by the game mechanics.
So, if anybody wants to change things, why not start from bottom up? If FD fix this they can look at CL. Not before.
