No doubt one of them would rat you out - but they would have no proof, it would simply be their word against yours. And it's not that difficult to make someone out to be a disgruntled player, particularly as you'd be able to plan ahead.
Post a couple of really nasty reviews for your mud which claim things you can disprove, then email Synozeer requesting the reviews be removed, politely explaining that the user was deleted for cheating and has been causing all sorts of problems recently - but that because he connects from lots of IP addresses you've not found any permanent way to get rid of him.
Then inform a handful of the players about a "secret" for loyal players, and wait for the rumours to start. Make the benefits more noticable for the first couple of hours, then tone them down a bit to make sure that they're no longer visible by the time Synozeer comes along to check. The players will still believe they're there though...
And when one of the players emails Synozeer? Apologise again for the "troublemaker" and his friends. Then wait for the inevitable flamewar to start up on the forums, and take the opportunity to get some free advertising as well.
And when someone points out that your votes have shot up, point out that that's probably because your players read the forums.
