What's my motive, then? Carrion Fields doesn't charge money for anything in the game. We've never even been accused of cheating in the voting to my knowledge. We won't even mention voting inside the game, let alone set up annoy-bots or smack you with globals. (Half because we won't breach our RP environment, and half because players find intrusions annoying. It boggles me that anyone does the globals, honestly.)
You might want to consider the alternative: Well-advertised penalties with proven enforcement records deter future cheating. Admins see that Materia Magica was caught and banned, and say to themselves "Huh. Better stay on the level, lest Synozeer show up with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch." It also reinforces the importance of the voting list when people know that steps are taken to keep it a legitimate reflection of player interest.
