Here are a selection (Not even scratching the surface btw) of STEAM_ID's we know have been generated outside of the STEAM system
STEAM_0:0:4252895 STEAM_0:1:4279614 STEAM_0:1:4294106 STEAM_0:0:4342345 STEAM_0:1:4361313 STEAM_0:0:4418181 STEAM_0:1:4417361 I think these may look familiar to a few other ISP's in my region Im afraid. What I've posted here, does not even represent 1% of the total number of STEAM_ID's we have banned that fall within these ranges. And we know its the same people because they have the audacity to come back with the same name and/or same IP a minute after being permanently banned. Valve if you are listening, what these people are doing in on the verge of industrial espionage, because they are not just being disruptive or even bothering to try and hide the fact they are cheating, they are systematically doing everything possible to devalue Valves Intellectual Property and Good Will. They rejoin so many times, change their IP addresses, to avoid the bans in such a systematic and calculated fashion that it appears as if this is their job to do so, not because they are little 12 year old retards. I think suing a few individual cheats for damage to your IP and good will would also go some way to stopping what these people appear to be doing in their efforts to destroy your and our hard work and investment in time and money!
