My personal instinct, because I try just to have pretty much one user identity (albeit with 900 officially-made-by-John name changes), is that if I were banned, I'd quit reading and posting, I think.
I'd take it as an official "you are not wanted here" from the host of the party.

But contrary to my own instincts, I think being banned and returning is kind of accepted in forum-world, based on some of the comments from some of the funnier users/ sock puppets of users here. Some people seem, I guess, to take banning as more of a "you went too far under that user name" kind of message.

And I'm pretty much fine with that thinking for other people who get banned but are willing to make the change in style or go through the trouble of re-registering. I'm not passing any judgment on the practice.

What do you all think? Is there a limit to the number of times that you creating user names before you clearly have a problem? Is it as normal as I think it is?
I have NEVER heard of this practice. Why would you think about such a thing? Don't give people ideas.
