Not sure if SauceMachine wants to chime in or not but, from my research I have found that the 3 day bans are NOT hardware or IP related. I know this because I have received the 3 day ban on a brand new computer before, also whilst using a VPN IP address.
They are more than likely related to F7 reports, steam account age, headshot accuracy, a combination of variables that is fed into some black-box system (whether it be AI, or some algorithm). I suspect that F7 reports from unique players hold the most weight.
Also, you can get them anywhere between 0-100 hours (I have gotten one after 80 real hours of non-afk gameplay). In fact, I'm not 100% sure how much "trust" hours get you at all, as some have told me that they get this ban even after 300 hours (although I can't say for certain whether or not they were "real" hours).
