Mitic people who cheat will always cheat. This won't deter them you give them too much credit or perhaps not enough.

Stop right there. There is nothing immoral about cheating, it is unethical. An immoral act is genocide against six million Jews, 500,000 Kurds, or a theistic oppressive regime's acts (like the Taliban).
An unethical act is cheating on your spelling test.
Calling cheating immoral in a fucking emulated Everquest server is saying Bush or Obama = Hitler.
Cheating is wrong on this server, and something to be avoided by players and punished by GMs. But to say that cheating on MMOs is immoral shows a remarkable lack of comprehension...of the English language and...well...what words mean.
Let's tone down the rhetoric/mudslinging and call cheating in P1999 what it is: an act that breaks the rules, and is by no means comparable to stealing ketchup packets from a restaurant.

You're the one with the lack of comprehension. Look up the word immoral and then come back.
1. transgressing accepted moral rules; corrupt
2. sexually dissolute; profligate or promiscuous
3. unscrupulous or unethical immoral trading
4. tending to corrupt or resulting from corruption
mo·ral·i·ty
[muh-ral-i-tee, maw-] Show IPA
noun, plural -ties for 4–6.
1.conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral or virtuous conduct.
2.moral quality or character.
3.virtue in sexual matters; chastity.
4.a doctrine or system of morals.
5.moral instruction; a moral lesson, precept, discourse, or utterance.
I'm sure I could find various sites with definitions more suited to my point but you could get to the words honesty, integrity, to honor and then where are you?
There are two types of people in this world those that think cheating is nothing unethical or immoral because they only relate those words to genocide. That a white lie is not a lie. And those people are what I like to call wrong.
