Fantastic idea to reduce hacker problem
I admit! The title was to attract the crowd 
Now the idea: This is some thing that can be done with very little change in the system/code.
1. Add a special "Fair game" item to the web item mall that can only be purchased using a valid credit card.
2. Now, make at least 2-3 channels with in each sever such that only players having this item can join. (Or: The room lead can decide if only such players can join the room)
3. If they hack, report them.
4. A person banned once can never get back that "fair game" item
Bring it on hackers!!!
Good to have
==========
5. Add visual indication on their names so people can identify such people.
6. The same credit card an billing address can be used by any number of accounts. But if one get ban, all those accounts gets the "fair game" item removed.
Note: Instead of a purchasable "fair game" item, you could also try to automatically add this item if the player enters the "optional" billing details section during account registration.
Benefits:
=======
1.The new system doesn't in anyway impact new players. It just creates a "safe zone" for fair players
2. Avoids unnecessary kicks since you don't have to doubt the other player is hacking.
3. Clans can make it a requirement that clan mates have it
4. This requires very less changes
Note: You don't even need to store the credit card in your system, just store a hash value that can not be converted back to the original credit card number.
Note1: You need to check both number and billing address to verify uniqueness. Otherwise, intelligent people can get around it
If you guys like the idea. Please spread the word. Lets us get this implemented.
P.S:
Now here is a suggestion on submitting a suggestion. Please add a "voting" system so popularity of the idea can be measured.

That's the beauty of it. Only people who really feel the need can purchase it. (or not even purchase. But just provide a credit card). The rest of the people are not even affected.Lots of people probably wouldn't buy it.

I was describing a similar idea some time ago - that does not require any purchase,
where all cheaters who were blocked becouse of using cheats get an tag
cheater in their Honour tab.
All players who have 'cheater' in their honour cannot enter a room/server with 'cheater free' option.

The problem is... they can always create a new player an cheat again. And using IP address wont work as lot of players login from university proxies. Linking it to a real credit card will prevent this.Annomader1 wrote: »I was describing a similar idea some time ago - that does not require any purchase,

I know I will. So its not "no body". Considering it doenst need too many changes, why not we try to implement and see. If it fails, you just have a couple of dollars to loose. If it works, it encourages people who actually buy ZP to stay on game.Which would end up being next to nobody... -

This is a FREE TO PLAY GAME
Have a nice day -
Z8games must have Mods/Staffs/GM VIP and/or confidants known of them.
If they're playing and there is a hack that kills through walls, or any kind of hack that is seen with the naked eye then they can ban quickly and in record time.
we/you/one could says that they're confidential people known of them and/or VIP staff that ban inmediately and/or infiltrated staff
