Surprised to see some double standards for someone. I see some people got tagged for evading the ban which is the incorrect use of the feedback system. If officials do not ban them, let them live their life. Instead, DT members tagged them because they were evading the ban. This guy is evading ban as well, when timelord reported, are people showing their asses? Why do some people get tagged and some others are free for the same offense?
Fair enough questions. I wouldn't say the discrepancy in taggings are "double-standards" so much as demonstration of a "case-by-case basis".
For me personally it depends on whether I believe the users in question have honest intentions or not. It would appear that the alt of HedgeFX was banned for PM spamming. As he no longer PM spams and has been a fairly honest member of the community thusfar IMO (and not even enrolled in a sig campaign), I think in this case forgiveness is warranted.
Not that its even up to me -- its totally the mods' call as to whether he should be banned or not.
As far as tagging members for ban evasion is concerned, I would only do this if its obvious to me that they are evading a ban, although the technical proof required by mods to perform the ban doesn't exist on-forum. Usually when I mention it in a trust rating, it is in conjunction with some other offense, and not the sole basis for a tag.
