You are mixing two types of people in this game, cheaters and hacking players. Cheater is a kid who downloads hacked client with obvious improvements. For such people here are anti-cheat coders and blacklist masters. They form "nice" community. Then here are hidden hacking players who play for themselves (or a clan) and build their community avatar with these hidden improvements. I am a bit paranoid here and i think it is almost everybody who is able to play 2 textured Cube.
So the first type can be removed by better anti-hack (blacklist) and second type by removing the motivation.(avatar position based on skills) But it can be very difficult in FPS game. (more custom maps, more mapping, etc. and player is able then even accept the lost, i have tested this evolution of player, for the member of community should be the competition only minor part of this game)
