I think it depends on the player.  If someone is stat padding to get points and high rank and they get wiped, what difference does it make if they come back and play again.  They cheated and now they have to start all over.  How many people are going to want to waste all that time again to get back the points by stat padding only to have them wiped a second time and so on?  Not to mention the part where...who the hell cares if some loser wants to go off in the corner of a map and spank himself off with shock paddles and a knife...or whateve.  I say let them waste their time with it and have really big numbers that don't mean a damn thing.

On the other hand...if you've got hax that are using aimbots, or the color hack (changing so enemy are fusia/yellow and you can see them through walls, etc) or messing with health meter, or automatic sniper/AT type weapons or what-have-you...those should be wiped, deleted with a block to their ip address so they can no longer log on to ranked servers.

Regardless, if you are playing on a server and you see someone shooting a fully automatic shoulder fired rocket with like 20 rockets at a time...you know they are hacking, report them or don't but get the hell off that server.  If you shoot someone point blank in the face with two full clips from a G36C and they don't die...get off that server.  That actually happened to me last week.  One enemy standing in the middle of three of my team mates.  I walk up and unload two clips on him...one in the back, then I ran around him and did the other in his face.  He literally just stud there.  Someone else unloaded a DAO-12 on him while another guy was knifing him.  He then pulled out his shock paddles and killed my three teammates.  I started running after my first teammate died and I disconnected.  Point is, most times when you see a hack you have the choice to stay and die or leave.  If you're dumb enough to stay there, you deserve to die.

So, should victims of hackers/cheaters get stats changed so deaths from those cheaters don't count?  I say no.  Because with in a couple deaths or less you should realize they are hacking and you should leave on your own.

Just my opinion but I think if wiping stats isn't a good enough reason to not cheat than it's gonna be tough to find anything to convince those people otherwise.  As for the rest...use your own common sense.
