How would such a small population police itself?

Well, the lead guild on the server appears to be receiving preferential treatment from the staff. Maybe this is just appearances, or maybe you're playing on a non-legit sandbox. I tend to give the staff the benefit of the doubt because if TR really is the admin sandbox guild, why wouldn't they just fail to disclose the hacking by members of that guild?
But it reminds me of my time on "A Certain EMU PvP Server." During my time on "A Certain EMU PvP Server," I noticed a trend of "A Certain Guild" always receiving preferential treatment from the server staff. In my direct PvP confrontations with "A Certain Guild," they hacked and exploited worse than anybody else on the server. But they were never punished for it, other than a one-time slap on the wrist.
Why? Probably because it was their sandbox. The slap on the wrist was likely self imposed and only for the sake of appearances. The guild I ran with was composed of people like myself with careers and family. I often had to take breaks from leading Hate raids to change diapers and make bottles. My guild had to make a decision. Do we continue to play in a sandbox where the dominant guild has insurmountable advantages? Or do we quit?
We decided that we enjoyed playing in a PvP environment, even on a non-legit server, enough so that we kept playing. We took down some raid targets when "A Certain Guild" didn't batphone and get to them first or arrive on the scene and train us with utter impunity. Mostly we enjoyed playing together, and "A Certain Server" was the only viable PvP environment with enough entertainment value to keep us together.
So how do you police your own server? Well, after TR showed its true hypocritical nature, going from derision toward hackers in other guilds to welcoming their own hackers back with open arms, you need to find a way to out poopsock and out batphone them. You need to hail Emperor Salty and say "I want to slay dragons."
Because you can cry GM favoritism all you want, but as long as TR is more active, organized and faster to target than all the rest of you put together, guess who is going to be keyed for VP? Cry more.
