If you don't want smac to ban, just change the action to kick and recompile the module?

I was making more of a "what if" scenerio.
Like, one potential scenerio, if a casual player was playing with the
admin system and happened to change any of their cvars ( !cvar sv_consistency 0 ) in their local server, and unknowingly forgot to change them back before joining a smac protected server afterwards. Another scenerio is if perhaps they where to download a workshop addon that forced some of the cvars client-side without them knowing. etc.
I'm making these arguments cause I see that server groups ban permamently for this detection (and others) and server admins assume it must be a hack (cheat) client. Yes, ofc changing cvars is cheating - but in these cases it's not ban worthy and server admins might stumble upon posts like
this and wrongfully assume someone was deliberately trying to use hacks.
