Either way, the issue here is ban evasion with alt accounts. Perhaps the moderators don't think there's enough evidence to link naim023 to John Abraham and any other account(s) believed to be connected to him? The blockchain transactions were proof enough for me, but mods might choose to be extremely prudent when making a judgement like that. I don't know, but I'd really like to hear one or more of them chime in.

I will also like to hear from the moderators. I am assuming if there is an unsaid rule that anyone whose ban is lifted cannot be banned again. On a second thought it seems that naim027 ban case is more than 6 months, hence every moderator is reluctant to revisit it.
Also, in law there is what is called "Stare decisis". This enables the court not to go against its previous ruling or decisions. This doctrine obligates the court to align so well with their previous verdict. Moderators having unbanned naim027, banning him again could contradict their previous decisions, hence the silence.

Apart from this thread, I have also read where BlackHatCoiner requested that franky1 be banned but nothing has happened.

He's not being accused of plagiarism or ban evasion AFAIK, just being very loud with his opinions, and there's been talk of him spreading misinformation--and correct me if I'm wrong, as I haven't been following that drama. I seriously doubt franky1 is going to get banned if it comes down to an issue of free speech. Trolling and spamming are actionable offenses, but I don't think he's doing either of those.

I most times agree with franky1's opinions. He is loud about his opinions especially on LN. And many people do not agree with him and I think he was once banned from discussing in the technical sections of the forum. I don't know if the ban was lifted at a time.
