I can absolutely guarantee you that there are no advanced systems in place.

1) If someone is cheating, it is very difficult to tell, because Graal is an application game built by Stefan Knorr, a friend of mine, who also did not and does not have any advanced security knowledge like the CIA. As a professional programmer & video game developer in all aspects myself, I can without need to explain myself, but by virtue of my expertise assure you that security is based on best-guesses and slight fixes here and there. You cannot peak into someone's computer, because that would be highly illegal and involves a trojan horse—which, if the admins are sending out trojan horses, they are not admins but terrorists.
2) A lot of the original cheats detected in Graal were presumptuous. That is, sometimes someone found something they didn't want to happen, and Stefan would just add something to counter act it. Obviously. That is how computer programming security works; a game is an application, not God.
3) All support tickets should be tended to; there should not be systems in place to ignore people, and there should not be systems in place to help some people and not others. There shouldn't be systems in place where admins are taking offense to people's personalities and holding grudges—assisting those they consider "worthy people". If a player wants to call you up and cuss you out—it is your job to understand that it is an emotional reaction, and it is not your place to start playing Hitler on which personalities constitute a place in the kingdom.
4) Banning people for using cheats during sparring is utterly ridiculous; seriously, guys, this is a game not real life. Frankly if this game wasn't stolen from me, this place would not be in such a nasty WWII state as it is today. This is not the true spirit of the game. People are attracted to this game for countless reasons, one of which includes the divinity, the spirituality, the spirit. It is supposed to be fun & games, meaning that if someone cheats a little people are supposed to just deal with it and move on … Maybe gang up on them, have fun with it, laugh—not extricate someone from a community, seizing & destroying their countless hours of creative property (their account), and even making whatever money they've invested worth nothing (which is theft).

This is not the way this game is supposed to be.
