Anything is hackable and RMTable. Any countermessure will get its counter-countermessure from the same RMTs. And in the end it will only be a pain for the players.

Just plain ban them and sorted. Same as botting afk players. No answer to a tell? Sorry mate, you were supposed to be there when you were moving around.
It's so obvious I don't even understand what kind of investigation is needed to prove all this.
Ok you say no investigations are needed, ok I have been mining all day, someone decides to report me for botting, some time later my phone rings when I am half way through a node, I receive a GM tell and can't answer it because I am on the phone, should I be banned for a badly timed phone call or should they investigate?

I am doing leves, decide to stand at camp to eat, someone has seen be doing leves all day, should I be banned?

This is what the investigations avoid it ensures they only ban guilty parties not people who afk'd for a short time in a bad position.
