It's actually, surprisingly, feasible to launch a cease and desist to take action against a single mod used by hundreds of thousands of people, that has been normalised, in part due to a lack of moderation concerning the overt use and announcement of mods.

There are still plenty of methods to do exactly what the mod permitted, along with groups running forks of an unscrupulous, 'fans of the playground' persuasion, right at this very moment - because the prospect of actually moderating folk player by player, is a pretty huge undertaking. I see a lot of 'f* around and find out' in these comment threads, but the reality is, there are very few moderators pro-actively cracking down on these materials in-game without being lead directly by the nose... and I'm not talking about 'guy wants a better beard', we all know what I'm talking about.
