View submission: Improved ban evasion detection and mitigation
I agree with most of this.
I'd love for ways where people who get banned for minimally malicious reasons that might be lifted down the line to be brought to our attention as way for us to have dialog of "ban evasion isn't okay, but talking with us can get it lifted." But that requires giving us either a far more robust way of doing "permanent"
Maybe even just having a mod-visible *marker* on comments/submissions from accounts that are *probably* alts of a currently-banned account, without identifying which account they're linked to? Sort of like a flair, but with "possible ban evader'? Not knowing which account would maintain privacy, but give us an option to have that conversation with someone.
For larger/more active subreddits, we don't have any way to separate a normal troll from a ban evader unless they're extremely obvious about it. But if someone has at least 2 accounts permabanned, we'd love to make sure that sticks.
There's nothing here!
