That is one of the issues being discussed in the Chinese DON Collusion thread, and even with the city name issue are there are twists to the story.
Some of the suspected colluders have made very small changes in their city names, such as inserting a blank space in the middle. I assume that this is to fool software that Stars might be running to check groupings of players from the same city all getting online at the same time from the same city location.
Another problem is that Stars evidently allows people that don't live in a metropolitan area to put the name of the nearest big city. IMO this is a loophole big enough to drive a truck through at the same time Stars is (sort of) trying to enforce the rule requiring players to show their actual location.
Frankly random checks of user names would show how widely the city rule is ignored. Unless their are really cities named No Chat or Wherever I Want. Players often list their state/province/country instead of their city as well.
By the way, there are sometimes complaints about "North Pole" as a location. It's a real city, I have been there, and I can verify that reindeer live there. I did not see any elves.
