yeah I would agree there's an issue with longtime problem users being given too many chances

although zposter might be a good counterexample of someone who was similarly banned and unbanned a lot and hung around a long time despite many blatant rule violations, but was clearly not well liked by the admin team. I would love to see some self-crit on why this phenomenon has occurred with so many harmful users and how to stop it in the future

This is probably a good point, but (fortunately?) I'm somehow not really familiar with zposter. From context around this thread you're probably right.
