Unless on usurped or deceptive pretenses, I do not encourage the act of circumventing bans, and other people in charge would say the same.
That said, if someone gives off the vibes that they’re in the business of it, it cannot be enforced as if it were an exact science. It can only be dissuaded based on certain definitive details. We kindly ask if you may give the benefit of the doubt, and if people (not us) have the authority to do so, they will act.
Let people higher up take care of these matters. Do not harass people or vent at them over such matters, and report people cautiously, not based on whims. Or as a list of rules once said…
“Remember the human” is as good a rule here as anywhere. Thanking all for their patience.
We know there’s a habitual troll who is using our community as their personal depression diary and keeps creating new accounts to avoid accountability, but moderating is hard, so please just deal with it.
There are levels of threat/response, excess absolutism is not key here. On the extreme end, I’ve seen this become a point of harassment. Mobbing isn’t encouraged here.
