Yeah, that's just stupid. It's unfortunate that there isn't a good way to keep banned members from creating new profiles. We all know they do it, even hilarousandco and the other moderators. Unless someone comes up with a way to stop that, all of this BS is going to keep happening, which it most certainly will, since I doubt Theymos gives a shit.
KYC might slow things down a little. (
OR 2FA at the very least)
One "main" account plus one "mobile" account for account recovery/ban appeal etc. Any other accounts for a specific purpose such as alt coin [ANN], ICO or similar should carry an entry on the profile page of which UID is behind the curtain pulling the strings.
Officially outlawing the sale of UID's (not just turning a blind eye because it's gone off site for the most part) would go a long way to restoring order and accountability.
Banned should be just that. Temporary suspensions should have a different name to avoid confusion and successful ban appeals should be documented in their own thread.
