How do we report ban evaders? Also how do we know if they're ban evading?

Some users will be so bold and tell us they're creating a new account but we don't know which account that is. For example: https://i.imgur.com/goeCnA5.png

Any help/guidance to better report ban evaders to increase that 10% metric would help.

If you have suspected Ban evaders you should report them here[1]. I will say that simply threatening to ban evade is not against policy (and in many cases may just be trolling), but you should still feel free to report it.

Ultimately the goal here is to make it so that mods don’t have to report ban evasion directly (since it is inherently difficult to detect), but rather to look at the actions taken by mods and see if the activity is tied to potential ban evasion.
