Not that it excuses or justifies breaking the actual TOS, but what matters is the policies used in application which are what define the actual rules, not the written TOS, if both are worlds apart like they are.

Edit: also, just food for thought, the more you crack down on something illegal, the more underground you push it, and the more unsavory that something will become.
It's absolutely consistent. The difference here is that this one was carelessly advertised all over the place by a large number of players. Their take has always been "Don't talk about it" nothing has changed. People were just stupid and talked about it non-stop on a scale they couldn't ignore. Cheats and harassment due to third party tools have consistently resulted in suspensions and bans.
