I'm happy about this. Yeah, it's a bit cheesy (intentionally, I believe) but when you consider the target audience it's appropriate. (Somehow, though, I was expecting the guy to disappear after putting on his hat at the end.)
About the actual GMs, well, hacking has been a problem in this game for such an incredibly long time that there is going to be a lot of cynicism regarding the new behavior. It's going to have to get better, and stay better, for a long time before people will stop complaining. I'd say the complaints are justified, particularly because we've seen previous attempts to "clean up" the game -- attempts that fizzled out after a few weeks or months.
