I see nothing wrong with playing around with cheats in private. Maybe you want to see what an aimbot feels like, or play a low-grav, high-speed game with friends, or generally just mess around.
If they're using the same clients in pubs and people are getting the "feeling" that they're cheating (not to say this is always to be trusted -- how many people get serverbans for "cheating" when they're just the best one there!) then that could be a problem. They should simply not use the same clients in pubs if they don't plan to cheat, of course. I think that's their burden, to switch clients.
I wouldn't recommend exposing the names unless you're absolutely certain they're cheating in public games, since people trust your word so much and many have such a knee-jerk reaction to "cheating" that these players may find themselves blacklisted from a lot of servers without good cause.
