no i meant if the same person comes back to editing from the same ip after the block expires you can't prove that it's the same person so it would be quite impossible to enforce the sort of indef ban which nil einne proposes btw i am still the same person who was blocked for that outburst and i do not object to the week block itself because it serves me right for what i said but i do strongly object to nil einne's proposal because it can't be enforced as i've just pointed out it constitutes double jeopardy after the length of a ban has been reduced you can't increase it again without further wrongdoing on the banned user's part and there's evidence of hostile animus behind nil einne's proposal when making his case for an indefinite ban even after the block expires he specifically cited highly pro american american right wing pov and other stuff in their posts which also seems to be implied in their novels for the record nil einne himself has a track record of promoting a third worldist anti colonialist and on at least one occasion specifically anti american pov
