Did you miss the part where a troll/spammer can just create a new account? It's trivial to see if you're hellbanned (incognito window).

- DanBC 11y agoBut spammers don't tend to just make new accounts. And it's fine that trolls create new accounts - their new accounts get banned quickly if they troll in their new account. And we don't know if there are methods that detect account hopping. I suspect that there are.
- lotharbot 11y agoI'm well aware of that step. But not every troll or spammer is. How many trolls or spammers actually research the target forum well enough to know that they use such a moderation style? It seems to be a very small number, given how many trolls and spammers get hellbanned and keep on posting, compared to how few seem to create new accounts immediately.
