Rockstar puts cheating Max Payne 3 players in the corner

That's right, Rockstar has set up a dedicated email address for reporting Max Payne 3 cheaters, and intends to corral them together far away from the leaderboards!
Rockstar announced a new method for dealing with cheaters in the multiplayer modes of Max Payne 3: rather than banning those players outright, they are made to play against each other.
That's right, a Quarantine, or, ‘Cheaters Pool’, how they call it.
“We’re aware that a small minority of players are spoiling the Max Payne 3 multiplayer experience for honest players with cheats and hacks, and while certain issues will be dealt with in forthcoming title updates, today we’d like to make it clear that anyone using these nefarious methods will be dealt with,” a post on the Rockstar blog warned.
“Anyone found to have used hacked saves, modded games, or other exploits to gain an unfair advantage in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer, or to circumvent the leaderboards will be quarantined from all other players into a ‘Cheaters Pool’, where they’ll only be able to compete in multiplayer matches with other confirmed miscreants.
“In the event we decide to absolve any of these cheaters for their past transgressions they may re-enter play with the general public, however a second offense will result in their indefinite banishment. In either case, we will be removing invalid leaderboard entries to ensure that the players at the top of the charts have earned their spots fairly.”
They are interested in “invincibility hacks, infinite adrenaline, score cheating” or “anything else suspicious”. They aren't interested in “legitimate tactics to which some players may object, such as camping” or in-game harassment (which should be reported to Microsoft or Sony).
Rockstar requested players to e-mail maxpayne3.banhammer@rockstargames.com with the following info:
- Platform (PC, PS3 or Xbox 360)
- Cheater’s Gamertag / ID
- Description of the violation
- If possible, please include concrete evidence, such as a video or a screenshot
According to them, these players can then be reinstated if found wrongly accused, or fully banned from the game if a second offense is recorded.
