Valve Bans 90,000 Smurfs in Dota 2

Last September 2 on a blog post by Valve it was revealed that they have we permanently banned 90,000 Smurf accounts. These accounts have also been active over the last few months. So in Dota terms, Smurf accounts are alternate accounts used by players to avoid playing at the correct MMR, to abandon games, to cheat, to grief, or to otherwise be toxic without consequence. Apparently what valve did are they traced every single one of the smurf accounts back to a main account meaning even the main account can be affected. Because apparently main accounts going forward if you have smurfs could result on adjustments of behavior score and even account ban. Valve also encourages if you suspect someone smurfing you can report them so that they flag and gather data for their anti smurfing efforts
