TF2 never has had such high issue with cheats as for example CS Source has but right now making TF2 free to play will attract cheaters. Lots of them.

VAC bans are delayed. This means that once player starts to cheat, he can do so for weeks without getting even caught in the first place. Someone might ask why would anyone do that - because they can. So when this "Valve treshold" kicks in, it's basically too long time to wait for something to happen and get the people who cheat removed from the system. They can go rampage from server to server, making everyones life miserable before they are being acted on. Yes, having active admins help but overall this will affect popuparity of this game unless something happens.

Maybe VAC should start banning cheaters based on their hardware, and maybe
really detect cheats.

There's also the possibility of basing the kick on the veteran medals.

Nothing at all. Thats the downside of all free games, the tons of
cheaters.
So what's to stop/prevent hackers from creating a new steam account and
rejoining our servers now that TF2 is free :\
