>Now, in order for a player to appear to us as a "fresh player" they would need to change their Steam ID, IP address and Steam installation folder. As you can imagine, no one is going to do the latter.

Really? I would expect that a dedicated cheater would reinstall Windows (or reload from a snapshot) every time they are caught.

Seems like they were private servers. So they really need only hurdle enough to have cheaters go somewhere else. Not totally kill their ability to play. And well most people will move on. Only those who take it most personally start to spend lot of time.
