No. This is called 'shadowbanning' and is a standard practice.

Where is it standard practice? I'm surprised that people don't notice and come back under new names.

Here's a description of it on Reddit. Apparently they also now do account suspensions. Shadowbanning is also used on Hacker News and Craigslist, according to wikipedia.

The folks at reddit weren't happy with shadow-banning humans (as distinct from spammers), and eventually started suspending accounts.
