When the mods allow a previously-banned poster to come back, it's to give them a chance to rectify whatever behavior it was that got them banned in the first place. If the mods were to allow the poster to have their old name back, it would all but guarantee that the whole exercise was nothing but a waste of time.

I suspect the majority of the posters on this site are like me: blissfully ignorant of who's returning as whom, and what they did to get banned in the first place. There are quite a few posters of the opposite ilk, however, and they like to cling to drama as if it were made out of Super Glue. These posters are the biggest reason why it's necessary for returning posters to have new names.
