In ZOS' defense: I know several people who have been temporarily banned for minor or first time cheats/exploits and permanentely banned for repeated actions. Some of them have even been perma-banned on their second and third account and are truely gone from the game.

What's nagging most of us is that there is never any public action against cheating.

While I understand why Zenimax doesn't want to publicly expose first-time offenders, I think perma-banned accounts should indeed be published (also to allow other players to check whether the cheaters return on another account). It would also help a lot if Zenimax would publish a monthly report on how many cheats and exploits were registered and what actions were taken.

This would not only calm community rage, it would also be a good deterrent for people who read about a cheat that "everybody uses without any punishment".
