With the forum update links format has changed aswell, so old links would be a bit wonky. If you have that old link we can try and find it.
Does this help?

Is "Save"ing still a legitimate tactic to avoid destruction ?
Genar-Hofoen, they most certainly didn't read through the thread. They're missing the all important ingredient. A WHOLE SERVING of KABLOOEY!

Never seen anything about it in the TOS agreement itself.
I mean, why would they ungracefully develop a game on a device with a power switch in the first place.

A few important threads that I have bookmarked -- but which I hadn't checked for a while -- seem to be going to black holes this morning. I cannot tell for how long this has been the case, or whether it's deliberate or accidental.
The Wayback Machine still has this, if it's of any use. I think it's the same one babelfisch tried to link to on the current iteration of the forums, and which also goes to a black hole at time of writing.

I'm seeing the same results, older threads appear to have been nuked.
@Will Flanagan please can you take a look at resolving this?
Have a read - link to TOS:
Elite Dangerous EULA and Terms of Use - Frontier Store
The Frontier Developments Online Store is the exclusive online retailer for products made and licensed by Frontier Developments plc
From a quick read it doesn't appear to be part of TOS or EULA. (or anything apart from a 'loose' reference to cheating which is certainly not explicit in its description)

Of course, and it's super common sense. As a general rule, if you are wondering if what you are doing is cheating/exploiting, then it probably is.
just looking for THAT in writing
there was a post where FDEV explained it was not "part of the game" and was operating "outside of the intended design", which "is" addressed in TOS. 2015.Have a read - link to TOS:

As may be. But the current version supercedes previous ones according to the Frontier website.
Good luck with turning up the post, I've been trying to find it among the myriad of Dev Posts, if I find it I'll come back and link it

Combat Logging: Update
Hello Commanders! This is a quick update to let you guys know what were looking at regarding the issue of combat logging. For claritys sake, combat logging is when a Commander ungracefully exits the game (e.g. using ALT + F4 then shutting down the game process) to avoid defeat, destruction...

Lack of experience in multiplayer games, lack of research into multiplayer games, lack of foresight, or lack of ability to come up with something better given the multiplayer architecture they'd decided on using. One or many of those reasons.
Not really, I know many multiplayer games where combat logging is possible, regardless of the architecture or experience of the developer. Probably the majority.
I guess they just don't care that much about it because they find the concept of people throwing a tantrum when others decide to stop playing with them quite silly. Maybe I am wrong though and they take it super serious.
