He keeps returning to the website using new accounts, ... and he keeps repeating the behavior that got him banned originally.

Thanks for looking into this again. Yes, given that the karma-abuse continues, the only sensible choice is to keep enforcing the ban.

Maybe we can convince another 2 karma-abusers to get in a fight and negate one another.

creative solution. I believe we had at least 20+ people try to mass downvote his recent post, only to have a sockpuppet effect giving +20 karma. So in theory yes, but in practice it didn't work with a mass of public against a puppetvoter.

I feel really really concerned about the fellow. It must take an enormous amount of work to do that kind of sockpuppetry. I wonder why he feels so invested in his presence here? Maybe we can address this therapeutically rather than legalistically? Maybe he enjoys the drama the most. I hope he'll just grow out of it or ask for help soon :)

I can imagine him taking the opportunity to defend himself as a chance to grandstand. He can give a versatile Pearce excuse/justification/reason that repositions himself as a victim:

I'd like to unreservedly apologise to everyone for my actions over >x amount of time<. My behaviour was unacceptable. I'm embarrassed and take full responsibility for my actions. I acknowledge I have a problem with >behaviour< and it is something I have to address. It is not an excuse but a realisation that I finally need help.Together with the >ingroup< I'm working on a solution for me to address these issues that will come out in the next couple of days. I just want to thank everyone for turning up and I apologise again.
