IP addresses, probably.

Not sure why gorta didnā€™t bother to use something like a VPN or a proxy service.

Eeehhā€¦ eehh?

Hmmmā€¦

Iā€™d like a lot of these but Iā€™m out of daily likes so instead you can have this message as a gold star.

I worked in IT before going into game dev.

IP addresses are basically the bread and butter of how site admins catch ban evaders because many of them donā€™t bother masking their IP.

I mean I use a VPN and I donā€™t even use illegal alts so uh

Sorry, Iā€™m in the spectrum so I have a hard time not sounding like a jerkass at times due to overfocusing on technical aspects that interest me.

If I sound like a dick, then 9 out of 10 times then itā€™s not because I intend to sound so.
