Who cares if they are alters?
A. lets say I post your personal information on this site. I get banned for it. I create an alter and post your personal information again. they ban me, I create an alter, then post the personal info again, etc...
B. if alters are allowed, there might as well not be any rules on this site. allowing alters defeats the purpose of banning people for breaking said rules. they can just create an alter and do what they did to get banned all over again
that being said I don't have a problem with an alter that posts normally. but that's a pretty 'grey' area, because obviously some alters are allowed. thankfully the decision on which alters to ban or allow resides with the admins, not with me

All of this. The people who are all "LOL why u so mad bro? Lighten up, it's a message board!" are totally not seeing the bigger issue. If the admins are totally cool with letting alters run rampant, and do the same things they have been originally banned for, why not just break all the rules? Why not? Just create another alter and do it all over again.
I know the admins like to be somewhat proactive in dealing with troublemakers (via the RA feature, encouraging people to email them, whatever), so that's why I suggested making just the slightest little tweak to an already existing feature.
I realize that simply due to time constraints you can't just review every posters post history all the time, it's impossible. It seems like if they got an RA specifically pointing out that someone in question is an alter, 90% of the work is already done for them.
