Less of of a bandaid and more of a muzzle. SE claims that 'muzzle' is effective. People here are disputing it, but at the same time proving it true. (See the 'I got warned for spamming quickchat' complaint. )

People are tolerating the muzzle more than the howling dogs. Excessive uae of quickchat can be reported and responded to. I'd argue they refine and improve the current system than ditch it.

As far as addressing the cheating. I agree they should do more even knowing the logistics nightmare it is.
