I'm pretty sure IW ward will have different people working on different things. I highly doubt they'll have people writing code for the game and then have them give out bans. There will be a completley seperate group of people to sort bans out etc.

Boosting and some lag issues seem to be IW only real problems,everything eles.i.e. spawns,nerf this gun or that one,TI's and all that are just little tweeks here and there, till they get them right.(which will never be right by some).

all the ELITE problems are beach-heads issues..

Dont cheat,dont get banned,simple fact (im not inferring that OP cheated, im just generalising) The people who investigate cheaters dont work on patching problems.
