As we've been talking about the prodigious use of the banhammer in Diablo 3, let's run with the theme and talk about how Rockstar Games intends to deal with cheaters in the upcoming Max Payne 3 and they've come up with possibly the best idea ever.  Anyone found circumventing the leaderboards or using hacked saves or mods to gain an unfair advantage in Max Payne 3's multiplayer will be "quarantined from all other players in a cheaters' pool" - that's right, cheaters will be forced to play other cheaters where they will unable to enter the leaderboards - in addition any invalid leaderboard entries will be scrubbed.

This is possibly one of the best examples of "see how you like it" being used to police an online community and I'm kind of excited to see how well it will act as a deterrent - the idea is so ingenious though that Rockstar is getting a big round of applause from me regardless, it's simply a damned clever idea and so simple that it just might work.  Full details are on the above link.
