Repeated ban evaders
Other than immediately reporting every post by the offender, is there anything else we can do when we realise that a banned user has returned with a new identity?
What level of detail should the post report have? Should it include the offender's banned usernames (or at least as many of them as is reasonable)?

Re: Repeated ban evaders
Imagine there's a user JustIgnoreMe, who gets banned. Then a new user, JustIgnoreMe1, signs up and posts on the same topics. That user is also banned. By the time we're up to JustIgnoreMe293, the style, syntax and substance of the posts is unmistakeable. Eventually, even if the new username is YouCantIgnoreMe, or IJustIgnoreYou, or JustIgnoreMeX, the user is almost instantly recogniseable.

Sheriff: Please just report it promptly with whatever evidence or reasons for suspicion you may have and we'll investigate. Listing all the prior names isn't necessary.
Sheriff: Please report this user so that we at least have the opportunity to investigate.
