One of the biggest problems of UT is cheating, there are tons of cheaters and although they get banned, they just don't quit and keep getting around bans.
Today, as I was heading up to lunch, an idea came to my mind: instead of banning cheaters, why not welcoming them instead? Controversial?
Allow me to explain:
- if admins keep banning the cheaters, many of them will keep coming back just for the proud rush of getting around the ban and then trolling some more.
However, what if a plugin for ACE or ACE Manager is made to turn the game against the cheaters instead? Have you ever thought in trolling the cheaters themselves as they try to troll the legit players?
I was thinking in the following: every time ACE detects a cheater, something in a mutator could be activated for that player in specific, in which every single time he tried to damage a player (no matter how), he would get headshoted instead and the frag would go to the player he tried to kill.
And imho, there's nothing more hilarious than cheating a cheater, making the game itself "malfunction" for that player alone.
Bonus laughs would go if the cheater started calling others cheaters as well.

From there, cheaters may as well give a "FUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" and leave the server themselves.
Of course, there are more things that can be done to cheaters to troll them and making their cheating plain useless and frustrating to the cheater himself.
A long time ago I did a similar mod for Qwerty/Killah's siege server to deny multigunning (I think it was called Multigunning Pwnzord or something like that), and it seemed to work fine to avoid multigunning and to give some laughs too.
So what do you guys think?
