&quot;Additionally, we have traced every single one of these smurf accounts back to its main account. Going forward, a main account found associated with a smurf account could result in a wide range of punishments, from temporary adjustments to behavior scores to permanent account bans.&quot;<p>I wonder if they did this by simply checking ip&#x27;s or mac addresses, or using more sophisticated techniques like analyzing in-game play style.
