MODERATORS
Invested players tolerate a level of cheating and banned cheaters often re-buy the game again. There is a monitary incentive to have some cheaters in proprietary multiplayer games.
Open source client/server multiplayer games permit endless redistribution - new server hosters can exist. A server that falls to a bad temptation can be replaced by players migrating elsewhere.
