I suggest putting a Report Cheater button on each ID. Someone who thinks a certain player is cheating could click the button, and then type in why he/she thinks this player is cheating.
As it stands, not everyone (new people especially) know how to report a cheater, or can be bothered to type up a complaint and mail to ID 1, so there are likely cheaters going unreported; this fixes that problem. Also, I imagine it can be unnecessarily time-consuming for Azzer to sift through a PM or three to find who is being accused. This would allow Azzer to at a glance see how many complaints are out against a certain ID (so if one player has been reported 4 times, he can look into it ASAP), and then see the reasons for the charges.
The only problem against this I can see is that it might be abused, "OMG that guy hit me 5 times in a row REPORT CHEATER!!!1". But of course this is all done in-game, when one is logged into an ID, so any abuse can be easily spotted (that guy who reports everyone who attacks him and doesn't recall...) and the appropriate actions can be taken. Really it allows no abuse that isn't already possible; if an alliance wants to have everybody report ID XXXX as a cheater for whatever reason they already can.
So in short: Such a button will allow for more and better cheater reporting, and allow Azzer to spot and address issues more quickly and easily.
