Indeed, duplicate salted-hash signatures on multiple active users mean shills, and immediate bans issued for both accounts tainted by the black list.
The trick is to randomize a mix of easy and difficult signature checks daily.
i.e. the exploit writers will have to spend time cleaning up bugs, redistributing the patches, and dealing with angry people that have a GPU that is on the blacklist for a game. The more hardware details collected, the more difficult it is to prevent tripping the admin alert.
