Blizzard has been in crack down mode, it seems. The
mighty hammer of blue has shattered 18,000 accounts in the past 3 months. While this is drawing somepositive
response in the forums, there is still backlash in
the community about gold farming/teleporting.Blizzard does mention that most of the tips came from in-game reports to GMs or emails to hacks@blizzard.com. I know a lot of people are frustrated that they don't get feedback from the reports, but Blizzard is hard at work running down all the cheaters! Keep the reports rolling in guys.
What other ideas do you have to help minimize the cheating issues?

Snowballs are too festive.
We require custard pies for cheaters... =D

How about a spam flood checker on the chat channels, so that if you post too many identical posts within a certain amount of time, you get turned into a very large can of meat-like-substance.
Personally, for me, nothing kills the game experience more than getting the "Visit so and so site for cheap golds at $blah for 10, $blah for 20" whispers.
