Online witch hunts never end well; which is why any half decent forum has policies on name and shame. While I have no time for folks who engage in combat logging, I have more of an issue with a group of self appointed players adding names to a list and making accusations. Why this thread has not already been shut down is beyond me.
List of combat loggers has reached 250 recorded loggers, with 322 total logs. Frontier, this is a problem

One minute is too long for those that are genuine disconnects. 30 seconds would be enough.
You'll keep killing everybody until FD fix combat-logging?
That has an implied incentive, aimed at FD, to fix combat-logging.
So...
You are saying, in order to make good on that incentive, that you won't kill anybody once FD fix combat-logging?
And...
Once FD fix combat-logging, you will no longer see anybody combat-logging.
But...
If you stop killing everybody today, you will no longer see anybody combat-logging.
Ergo,
Your approach is inefficient, as it contains a non-essential reliance on an outside party to do something, ie. FD fixing combat-logging.
For if you simply decide you won't kill anybody, you solve combat-logging forever, in your reality.
Makes you think.
Part of your problem is that you do not differentiate between combat loggers and menu loggers.
The latter is a perfectly OK thing to do so why should FD look at your "hall of accusing innocent people" ?
"Now to business: Combat logging in this subreddit is regarded as exiting combat via both ending the process (pulling the plug) and using the 15 second timer. As such, users "gracefully exiting" combat using the 15 second timer are still regarded as combat loggers, and the offenders will be listed on the Hall of Shame."
Not in FDs rule book which is the authority over you.
People crying they do not like the rules of the game...sounds like a bad game of Monopoly.
Somewhere you seem to have gotten the idea what behaving like this will get you your way - just trying to figure out where frankly.
Homework: you all go and knit a nice napkin with that.
Eh.. what's the point in pirating players when NPCs don't usually log?
Some/most of the players will not want to give you their cargo and avoid/escape/log/selfdestruct.

Because technically they're not breaking any rules with the OP.
If it's that easy to get beyond you, you have more serious issues that you should work out before you argue on the internet.

plus it would have to be a huge coincidance to get disconnected everytime you encounter another player or while doing PVP. Dota 2 has a similar punishment system called low-priority and it's working amazingly well. You could always be thrown into a separated server (low-priority server).
very solid point, data is data and data reveals that there is a consistent problem with a huge precedent that affect the community and the game.

Oh Kremmen don't you dare try and use logic here! It'll never work!
How so?
It would seem like a reasonable solution. Yet this would then put the onus upon Frontier to actually tackle those who pull the plug, which might explain why its been left as it is since I can only conclude they couldn't care less about combat logging.

Someone just had a major epiphany, furthermore, these private groups should not expect FD to do their policing for them if they cannot manage their "Private" group due to incidents caused by the said "Private" groups open door policy
Please...keep up the pressure on the community and Fdev. Your actions will fix the problem. An open PvE mode!
Sensibly they care about people enjoying the game.It would seem like a reasonable solution. Yet this would then put the onus upon Frontier to actually tackle those who pull the plug, which might explain why its been left as it is since I can only conclude they couldn't care less about combat logging.
People quitting are not people enjoying the game at that point - ergo what benefit is there for Frontier in making people enjoy it less?
Open PvE. Here we come!
If, on the other hand, you backtrack on your implied incentive, perhaps stating that you won't kill EVERYBODY, but probably still some, that introduces a fatal flaw in your approach.
Because, currently, you are not killing everybody. Many are not killed.
Should FD fix combat-logging, you may not kill everybody you meet, but you will in all likelihood kill everybody you attack.
It is arguable, then, that FD fixing combat-logging will actually increase the number you kill, making your implied incentive a disincentive. FD would in fact be signing the in-game death warrant of more people, by fixing combat-logging.
Makes you think.

PLease don't attempt to marginalise this issue by throwing mud at a player group.. The issue is combat logging, I'm not a member of SDC and am sick to death of combat logging. However, all the reports are evidenced via video on the combat logging sub reddit. Might be helpful if you got your facts straight before entering the discussion
I'll edit to add a sarcasm tag
Why they will quit? Because they will not able to cheat anymore?
Instead of 15 seconds 'graceful' menu-exit they can always do a high-wake. Similar time. No cheat, no relog, just playing the game. Still not better?

im saying if combat-logging was punished or dealt with I would go back to normal piracy and try to be more (civilized) in my approach and probably roleplay more as a pirate. I just don't see the point to do that right now because of the current situation with combat-logging.
I'm telling you most if not the majority of code members left or don't play the game because of this issue. I know a lot of people who will restart to do legitimate piracy if something drastic is done to eradicate combat-logging.
/plain and simple and this is not me saying I will stop shooting at people, I love doing that. I'm just saying I LOVE piracy but it's not enjoyable, fun nor viable right now because of those game breaking mechanics.
