I rather see someone changing one line in some code and be thankful for that, but not just few permanent bans given that serve no real purpose in the grand scheme of things, rules are just arbitrary restrictions that aren't enforced daily here in this game and can't be taken seriously because some developer got bored and decided to give some permanent bans out of blue, thanks for nothing for the countless time.
There is always the option to replace "cheating" and discourage it by smart features, we wouldn't need more game masters if developers of this game actually worked upon existing issues. Like who wants to be a game master? It's utterly pointless in every imaginable way. Player stuck? Might be a smart idea to implement some command for the player to deal with that himself. Gangs use multiple logs and sneakers all over the map? Implement something a bit more easy to replace those sneakers than level up them as a necessity, so others can have a similar advantage without breaking the rules nobody takes seriously anyway if others still use those sneakers ...

More game masters is like adding more duct tape to an already fixed mechanical device that is holding with duct tape, temporary fixes the problem, but doesn't really solve it. More smart features, less need for duct tape.
Did it broke again? Currently only more duct tape is applied.
Dual log partially allowed to what it was in previous session, now duct tape is used a lot less because there is less need for it.
