From reading all this is this thread, I have come to a conclusion:

I realise that many of you are sensitive towards cheating. I personally dont see why. I always allow the use of cheats in my server. Not because I myself cheat, but I don't think it is such a big deal or a big fuss to make about.

Maybe I can understand if the person is using a laser shield, or lagging the server. Or if you are using an illegal program (MegaWarp etc.) then you deserve to be kick/banned.
In this case, I would also "punish" them.

Ok... this is just a personal opinion... do NOT attack me back saying I am wrong or anything... its a thought. And i still understand that certain people will never allow cheating...
