People often trick their ISP into assigning a new IP address, by spoofing the mac address on their router. I can do this three times before the lease period is up. Then use anther steam account.

ISPs only have a limited number of IP address blocks for a given area. If the first three numbers in the IP address string are the same, this should be a red flag right away. If not, the country, city and ISP could potentially match up, when running the information through a GeoIP database like IP Tracker.

The problem is SB doesn't have a module capable of automatically detecting these things, to warn admins.
