We know that, today, not enough botters and hackers get banned.
Is that because GMs are patrolling the wrong maps?
No. It's because they are busy handling tickets, checking on forums, and doing whatever else they do.
Now, how will the Council help?
Conscientious Council member is doing her job. She's responding to player calls for help with rule-breakers, and when there are none she goes to the well-known cheater maps and tags bots and hackers. In other words, she generates a continuous stream of hack reports, most of which are legitimate (that's what she was chosen for, after all).
Which means that the Council member practically has to be followed around by a full-time GM, doing the formal ban procedure on those she tags. It doesn't matter whether the Council Member takes the video, the GM still needs to watch it to be sure it really shows hacking. So not much time is saved.
Nexon don't have the manpower to do that. If they did, those GMs could cut the middleman and go to the same maps. If they still don't know what they are, despite the stickied thread in their forums, then the "Council" could simply take the role of offline advisors. They won't need to make any in-game modifications, just a forum for people trusted to talk sense and inform Nexon of cheater maps, known boss hackers, exploits making the rounds, etc.
