To a smaller extent but they are public knowledge in the same way, hell, first post of the thread contains links to some. You have to search a bit more and do a bit more setting up to do but ultimately there is no fundamental difference.

Well, you personally obviously don't use sign-post taming, night-vision/hiding objects or key-alts (defeating perma-death consequences in a much more meaningful way) then. But again, not even trying to describe the whole list of those abuses, the point is - you cannot claim the moral high-ground in those situations because you *feel* like your cheats are less major than the others. At the same time you, personally, won't stop using them simply because someone shamed you on the forums, and same rules apply, they won't stop botting because you, or jorb, "shamed" them on the forums.
In a similar fashion just as a newb-village can go on making leather and having fun with it, until someone introduces the leather bug at which point in a week max nobody will be doing it any other way, more and more people will bot just as it happened with atrocious alt play-style many worlds ago.
Yet more importantly it's not the question of "people are asshole" nor it ever was, random people put it similar situation in similar numbers would produce similar result - which means you can't combat it by shaming someone on the forum.
