For the record, I wouldn't be at all against going back to the "bad old days" of mass cheating. You may as well declare the whole thing a free for all. Allow multis and planet sharing (since really all you can do is ask people nicely not to do that), bring back in-gal and in-alliance attacking and make the ONLY rule "don't hack the game".
On one hand that would totally screw anyone that is still daft enough to take the game seriously on any level whatsoever, but on the other hand, I might sign up a planet for a laugh!
