Although this is an old story, but for an example of how some moderators react to the confession of the account owner himself, who had two banned accounts in the story.
I apologize, but the post is written in Russian, but a Google translator will certainly help for understanding.


The account admitted that this is already his third account on the forum, and his two previous accounts have been banned.
I reported this to the moderators, but instead of a ban or some kind of negative label, the moderators simply deleted the confirmation message. There is an archive left.  https://archive.ph/08PO0
And the third account sometimes appears on the forum, as if nothing had happened.
Therefore, of course, the moderators can act as they see fit.
