An idea
Because hacker can create new account, I don't think the stuff should focus on the rookie server. Instead, just show the public a chart that how many higher rank player being banned (each day), and just don't allow and lower rank players to play in other than rookie server.
Before a player reaches the given rank, the account is temporarily, for example, password is changed at each login and the player has to check email to get the new password. The complexity can be set to a level that hacker feel boring to frequently create new accounts. Legit new players need only experience this process once.
The temporary players might only have even more basic guns, like every weapon cannot switch to burst mode. Players can buy advanced weapon and gain the permission to up level server. It is so easy to be noticed that a smiley face in the upper level servers, they should be quickly banned if hack. Because the real money they spend, they are less likely to hack, and even if they have enough money to hack, they would not create too much damage to the community, instead of, they would increase the z8's profit. Which might be used for more powerful tool to detect them.
When hackers find themselves are basically limited to one server, and once they spend time to build up a character that are so quickly to be banned, they might give up haking when they need to experience the temporary account again and agian..

Moved to suggestions.
I disagree with your chart idea, as now you're going to have issues with accounts being subjected to ridicule/hate if they were caught cheating.
As for the continuous password change-up, though it looks nice on paper and in theory, the practicality of its application would hamper even legitimate new players would be put off from playing any further if they're subjected to such a process. -
Chart to tell new players that if you hack, you can only stay in this server. Maybe it is hard to implemented, but the number will give them idea.
I know frequently password change would expel some legit players, but they only need experience once.
I even think this is not complex enough, all I want to do is to make the experience to start it over every 3 days would be unaffordable to go through. There should be some better method for this, but this idea would cause hacker to reevaluate the cost. The cost can be either complexity or real money. We can not do it like cs. But if we can record router mac address, they need either change the hardware or call the ISP about the change if they can hack to change it. When they need to call isp every two days to change the mac, either ISP will ask what happened, Or the internet bar owner will enforce the rule that no one should install certain 3rd party software on their property. Some one else will get tired of this process before the community get tired of hackers. Even if they can buy new routers, that means they need $40 for a new account, his dad will soon get mad.
