Cheating is typically defined as violating the rules of the game dishonestly. Valve's intention with the unlockables is to provide alternatives that would be advantageous over the original weapons in certain situations and detrimental in others. To use a MMO term, they are side-grades. In my personal opinion, achievement farmers are not gaining an unfair advantage over other players by accessing their unlockable side-grades more quickly than regular players. Therefore they aren't cheating.
What I hate about achievement farmers is when they try to farm achievements in a regular pub game. I feel that they sometimes ruin the game play experience for everyone else in the server. I believe that achievement farming servers are sort of a good thing, as they remove a lot of the achievement farmers from the regular pub servers. I'd much rather have achievement farming servers than no achievement farming servers with a bunch of farmers in a pub game. It is the lesser of two evils, I suppose. However, what you do with your servers is your own business, and I have no right to directly comment on how you should be running them or what you should be doing with them. You're free to ban whoever you want for whatever reason. Just offering my own two cents on the whole overly issue. Apologies to the list, I'm too lazy to find what irc channel you are residing in to discuss it there.
