The current punishment scheme for cheating players permits a certain number of bans before their faction is banned from TC. At this point, those factions can simply create a new one or have a front faction that serves the same purpose but is supported by members of the (otherwise would be) banned factions. This already appears to be occurring.
Problem: To avoid their factions being banned for cheating, players have created front factions which they support. These factions collect TC loot and otherwise serve the same purpose, and are used to entirely bypass punishment as well as a number of other benefits.
Steps to recreate:
1. Be banned multiple times.
2. Realize that further cheating will incur a punishment of banning faction from TC.
3. Devise underhanded, delusional plan to avoid being punished, rather than simply not cheating anymore.
4. Create a new faction and support it in PvP, likely utilizing dual logging and cheating itself to start a TC counter and hide within the TC zone.
5. Actual PvPers dying does not matter as front faction continues taking the town and are hidden somewhere.
6. Bans are avoided, efforts of moderation is insulted.
7. Observe as cheaters are, in fact, 100% pure human refuse totally incapable of good sportsmanship or participating on an even playing field in a competitive environment.
Solution:
Recognize front factions and the purpose they serve. Punish the use as seen fit.
