With the job title being “marshal” rather than “referee” that’s why herding players is a much more common task than rule enforcement

The number one priority is safety, but once it’s been established that guns aren’t being fired in the safe zone and eye protection is on before entering the game zone then it’s keeping an eye ou

Players have to be herded out into the game to give them more play time then waiting time (part of customer service)
Sites need players to have an overall good experience to keep them spending if they have not paid a fixed day price and encourage repeat custom - even if that player is always going to be a one off their experience is going to be passed on to people that they know

Cheating and the perception of cheating then touches onto the player experience. Not necessarily the precise rule enforcement but being seen to act in some way to calm the situation - most “cheating/apparant cheating” being non hit taking
This could actually in some cases be reverse non hit taking by calling out everyone to disrupt the game, give you a chance to advance under the guise of a Marshall checking / watching the “cheater” and/or to distract from your own cheating

(Easy solution if non hit taking is a major problem to you in Airsoft is to transfer to paintball for the hit mark - but then you can call them wipers instead)

A healthier option is to not get hung up on “cheatingl and chill to enjoy the day

While I understand there's very little staff can do if they don't see cheating first hand and I don't expect them to immediately start following every player accused, marshalls should at least appear to be listening and give a crap.

I agree that there probably are some who will make false claims for nefarious reasons. This is why staff need to work together to work out if it's multiple complaints about 1 player or just the same idiot who doesn't know the performance limitations of their rif. As for distractions from their cheating, one thing I've noticed over the years is that often the louder someone is shouting take your hits, the more they need to follow their own advice
 
My general view is if you can identify the offending person by their gear, clothing and gun, then by all means mention it too a marshal & let them investigate & action. If not move on to shoot at someone else & don't let the cheater spoil your day

My local site has a story whereby multiple people were shooting at this dude dressed in black deep in cover who wasn't calling it and even kept flinching everytime they were shot... marshals investigated & turned out everyone was shooting at a binbag
