It has my vote.
Yes a certain level of metagame is necessary to keep it fair and a good game, but sometimes the line blurs.
It has to be improved to draw the line crystal clear.
Samura|- didn't. Nor did other trading factions. And I'm neither interested in BAF/Molly-spam in Dublin as soon as I log on my miner, nor on increased amounts of Blood Dragons in Kusari when I try to pass through. Just to provide the examples that would affect me negatively.
Thanks, but no thanks. Everything that is open to abuse, will be abused.

Using that kind of command is a lot better if you wait for a friend to log on then watching the chatlist every few minutes or getting a lot of unrelated logon/logoff information by setting a command-line-appendix.
Of course I usually jump into systems first without checking who's all in them. I don't like to spoil my own fun. Others might do it differently though.
A last point is that with getting the login-information of someone does not reveal his location. You would still have to look it up in the chatlist. So I don't really see a good point about abusing the command.
