Addressing Serious Hacking Issues

Indeed.
If they actually meant it, they would also increase GM activity in-game, while automated tools are being developed.
Patrol the game, make sure any hacker doing their thing in broad daylight in the well-known maps doesn't last.
Don't know where those maps are? Here's an idea: when a player reports a hacker, record the map id. Don't wait until X reports against a single ign to start investigating, but rather X reports against the map.

Also, those long lists of perma-bans? Split them by ban reason. Show us you're not just banning FM spambots, but also actual hackers.

All this notice is doing is trying to buy time, to quiet us down. "We're working on it, so stop whining." Bah.

the moment they start doing that, the moment they'll lose all their credibility.
if that's even possible.
