Either way, can we get some sort of consistency here? The message I am getting is that it's okay for a perma-banned user to come back as long as they start a new account and don't let anyone know it is them and/or don't get in trouble since then? <- This is not a good long term policy plan.
I always saw it as more of a 'we can't actually stop you coming back under a different name so do yourself a favour - shut up, play nice and don't draw attention to the fact your back. Otherwise you'll get your arse banned again.' But that's just me.
but we
can basically stop them from coming back. I mean, sure, they can go superspy and radically alter their behavior, mannerisms, and speech, but considering they weren't able to change any of that
before accumulating 6 hard warns, it's unlikely they'll be able to after. if you just make being recognized as an alt of a banned user a bannable offense then you're pretty much set. in theory there could be banned users who
aren't particularly recognizable, but most people who act basically normal don't get permabans anyway.
So an air-horn and 10 gun salute definitely out of the question if jack ever gets banned?
airhorns are
never out of the question.
