As to the substance of the issue; It has been my perception that the main issues with these rooms is instability in the rooms themselves. This seems to be evidenced mainly by long load times. If this is indeed the case the rule may well be in place so that when hackers complain about the lag time they can be told, rightly, that it is their own fault. If these rooms cause larger issues with game play then they should be addressed. If they do i have not heard about it. Regarding the OP's apparent main objection, that this makes it harder to attract people to non hacked rooms there may be some validity to this but it does not matter. Room attendance is not a 'score' even though people choose to treat it as one. As near as i can tell the point of this 'game' is to have fun. If you are having fun then you are a winner, if you are not then you might want to check into another game or reconsider how you are playing this one. love, dee! >^,,^<
