The true anti-cheat solution is to bring back user hosted dedicated servers. Where a community can just ban people as needed.
This this ancient system have problems? Yes. Asshole/vindictive admins. Trolls circumventing bans.
Yeah there will always be problems with online networks, but it’s easier to work with issues on decentralized ones than it is for centralized ones since one can just join a new server when it comes to abusive admins, or the community as a whole can deal with it if it’s bad enough and they’re fed up with it.
These options don’t exist for centralized corporate online play.
