But this person isn't cheating in the first place.  
Also if a player wants to cheat, it is his problem.   

I agree it can be very inconvinient for other players.  On the other
hand it is not up to us to say: "you can't cheat in games".

Hmm.  Cheating in games doensn't harm anybody.

I think that in a game community that respect itselves the members
don't cheat on each other and  the cheating members are refused to
participate.

It does not say anything about it, that is true.  But it doesn't say
it can't be used for that.  So for me it can be used for it with or
without modification to the code.
