I don't see how what I said in my other post implied that the only reason to bar the kibitzers from speaking up was to prevent cheating. My first example involved a kib "with no agenda" making an honest error, but causing needless confusion by so doing. Nor was I recommending "throwing the accidental rule breaker under the bus", since I didn't discuss penalties at all. But since your comment brings the matter up, all I would do is bar an offending kibitzer from watching the rest of that match. I don't see that as punishing the kib all that much, just protecting the players from further distraction and annoyance.
A serial offender might need more than just being booted from each match he disrupts, but I don't think that problem is all that likely to happen. Most people will get the idea after one or two bum's rushes to the distant sidelines.
