Sounds like an excellent idea to me and gives the project a 'standard' way
of dealing with these things. 

Saying that, we may want to use a less scary term then hacked or we may get
non-technical users panicking as to what 'hacked' the game. 'Illegitimate'
maybe? Hmm really not sure that is better.
