Bring Back Lie Detectors but revamp their function
Main Topic: Lie Detectors
Instead of doing an automatic check when using the item, make the item a "GM Summon" tool to automatically bring a GM to your position to snoop out botters.
Basically, a Chocobo Whistle for GMs.
GMs will have a queue list that teleport them to a player's location on behalf their request to check the map for suspicious activity. Once the GM has detected any activity they will then queue to the next player's location and repeat the process again.
-To GMs: You really need to get a grip on how to detect a botter. If they're clearly teleporting around the map without a teleport skill in their arsenal, and are attacking monsters outside of their skill AoE, that should immediately trigger a red flag. You shouldn't have to do a "check" by trying to ask the botter questions as they are clearly not going to respond.

Doing a bit of handwaving math involving the number of hackers, number of concerned citizens, number of GM's, and length of time required to ban someone with proper proof/paperwork filed, I predict that the queue will explode within three days, give or take a few hours.
