Ya' know... I've read quite a bit of replies on this thread (and skipped lots too). I don't wanna muck things up with a long reply/rant so here's my two cents from experience:
I've played games where I clearly saw or heard of people doing things against the game/server rules. Even when I reported it, nothing changed. I've even spent extensive time on a game where the GM's themselves had become corrupt (no, I'm not tin-foiling). At least the GMs/Admins here (who aren't making money by doing this) are making an effort to keep things clean. If mistakes are made, then I'd expect things will get ironed out soon enough.
As an added note -- I've been seeing a lot of newcomers to the server recently, which is awesome. I really do believe that keeping the server as clean as possible (in regards to rule breaking) is encouraging to legit players who are just starting, have played for awhile, or are looking into playing. Imo, keep up the good work GMs/Devs/Admins (I know Devs aren't involved in RMT banning, but they still work on/for the server).

(Okay, my reply was some-what long.)
TL;DR -- At least the higher ups are making an effort to keep things straightened out. It could be much worse.
