What if the moderators you hire refuse to unban people they dislike?
Also, there's a huge problem with banning hackers. Just because a player hacked on another server, it doesn't mean they're going to do so on yours. A lot of players from roleplay communities seem to hack on DM servers when they're bored and were banned by SprunkBuster, this was a serious problem when I used SprunkBuster. I'm not denying they deserve to be banned, but it's going to lower player counts on servers.
Perhaps you could detect how many times a certain IP was submitted as a hacker by unreliable servers, then ban them. If they hack on just a single server, I don't see them as a real problem, but if they just go around hacking on all servers, then they shouldn't be allowed to play.
Sorry to sound so negative, but there never really was a positive reception to SprunkBuster from a lot of people and I can understand why.
