What can happen? We use different names here and on trackers. They dont know our IP....how could they?
Alot of accounts could have *** GB Up, ** GB Down. How exactly are they gonna find your account if they have 5000 members?
That's impressive...Not.
What's a tracker sysop doing here at FST? All we do is trade invites, and staff on trackers dont like that.

They won't find it, not without looking anyway, but there are scripts in place that highlight certain changes to the account to members of staff, if any of those triggers points are pulled, and it happens to be an account that matches the above details, gone, disabled.
Some quick ones:
Change of Browser is a killer hidden trigger
Password & email changes
Obviously if the IP/ISP changes, especially country IP changes, and quite a few trade with people from the top banned countries without understanding why they are banned, even if the recipient tries to go through proxy, they do anything to get round the country IP ban, and lose you the account if invite traded, or the original account is just disabled anyway.
Increased browsing habits, as you try to figure out what is where, the original account holder already knows what is where.
etc, etc.
If it's so secret, then pm me. I lost an account at Bitmetv a long time ago and I had no connections whatsoever to it. Not the name, IP adress. All I said was the buffer, and not even that was accurate.
SgtMajor: Shit, that's alot. I can't believe they got scripts for this. Fucking geeks.

ip address & email change = account trade.
I don't think they use that much datamining. Analyzing user browsing patterns is a tough job, even Netflix and Amazon have troubles with that.
User agent and http env variables could mean that computer geek (nearly all p2p user are geeks) just bought a new rig.
Region + password changed screams "trade" but what can they do when account just moved from one Leaseweb box to another?
You can ban *all* the traders but you'll get a lot of false positives and purge legit users with them.
PS. Just came up with another criteria - all user torrents stopped. But I don't know how many torrents average FTN user seed simultaneously and for how long. Maybe seed for hours not weeks like 1 at the time.
