Obviously, online gaming isn't exactly the same as radiosport, but with
the recent discussion regarding cheating and cheaters, I thought the
section of this article regarding how to best change behavior was
interesting and applicable to us.
Here's a snippet:

Lin says the system dramatically improved what the company calls “reform
rates.” A player who has previously received a penalty, such as a
suspension from ranked matches, is considered reformed if he or she
avoids subsequent penalties for a period of time. “When we added better
feedback to the punishments and included evidence such as chat logs for
the punishment, reform rates jumped from 50 percent to 65 percent,” he
says. “But when the machine learning system began delivering much faster
feedback with the evidence, reform rates spiked to an all-time high of
92 percent.”
