Ok - I was able to replicate a false-positive ban scenerio with this ConVar violation:
SMAC 0.8.5.2: ConVar sv_consistency violation

Basically I did the same thing I did here:

Except replacing the cvar "mat_postprocess_enable 0" with "sv_consistency 0". Sure enough smac thought I was trying to enforce my own cvar (which I was because the vpk addon was enforcing it) and banned for it.

No hacks or advanced multi-hack tool. Just a badly configured addon VPK file. So anyone could download an addon from the Steam workshop that alters a cheat-protected cvar, like an admin menu, and unknowingly get banned for it. Which is what I'm sure happened to some of the players on my server who are known to be legit and professed it was a false positive (I didn't believe them until now).
