That means either the hacker population is larger than we thought, or the hackers are really persistent enough to make new accounts/characters in a rather robotic fashion (if account or character is banned, execute new account/character creation to go back to hacking).
They're not banning hackers. They're banning FM spambots. You know, the level 1 noobs standing there advertising meso-selling sites? When they get banned, new ones instantly come to take their place, so a GM can easily ban a thousand each workday (50-100 in each server), and generate this pointless list. Of course you see no dent in the hacker population, it's not targeted at all.
