I'm not suggesting sockpuppets.

You said there has to be a line somewhere or there is no point (meaning the ban has to be permanent). Well the permaban would still stand but they'd be free to post on a new account, so they've lost their original account and have to start again from 0. What's the problem?

It would be easier to let them post again just to stop these discussions, then the mods can just pull the plug on them if they act up. Win win for the mods.

You're acting like giving a few members one last chance would ruin everything, when realistically only one of two things would happen; they'd either prove that they've learned their lesson, and contribute to the community, or they'd lapse and be effortlessly and painleasly banned.
