Cheaters wont play against themselves, nor get anywhere.

From the Article
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.

It's not the first time i'm talking about this topic and i never heard about this rockstar solution before. Sounds very interesting and could be an option to handle this topic.
I dont think there will be enough interest to get money for another server. But we've got the testserver Amun and players are needed to play there.
Perhaps it would be possible to put this "cheater pool" we are talking about there step by step.
Not every cheater is just using complete programs like c* e* or smth like that. Some are interested in coding too - so perhaps it would be a chance for a constructive and finally helpful contact between cheaters and developers too, while having enough players to test updates there without losing customers and i'm sure it would be fair too to replace these players from the "normal" ranking to an "own" ranking this way.

@NGD-Team: What do you think about this idea and what do others think about this too?
