Out of all this, the one thing I want to know is why games these days do not broadcast or publish who they ban.
It is good for the player community because they know that:
1. SOE is doing something,
2. it is good deterrent and warning to those that want to cheat,
3. cheaters are shamed and stand to lose their friends and all respect built within the community,
4. members griefed by cheats and who took the trouble to /appeal are appeased
5. other players get confirmation and closure on their suspicions
In the old days, kicks and bans are broadcasted.
