This is where votekicks/bans work well. If I cannot tell someone is hacking but I've gotten enough "reputable complaints" then I will just start a banvote, but only ban for 2 or 3 days. If they ARE aimbotting then they probably will just assume they've been banned for ever and won't be coming back. in the rare case they aren't aimbotting however they might come bak and ask wtf is going on, which then you just admit what happened and state why you banned them - for suspicion of aimbotting. As long as you're transparent about your actions most people don't worry about being banned/kicked - either they like your server enough to rejoin when needed or they will never come back, and in that case you can just assume they were a random pub - and int he long haul of the game now being F2P you shouldn't worry about losing one or two people.
