That is both a naive and untrue statement. History matters - in general, if you are a crappy poster, your posts will likely continue to be crap, and if you are a good poster, your posts will likely continue to be good. If you somehow manage to get banned from CP, it isn't because your posts are so fantastic that the mods are jealous and want you to go away and be brilliant somewhere else.
Mostly returning posters get found out, and called out, because they go back to the same annoying habits they had before they got banned. Some manage to reform themselves. Most don't. If you don't want to be "unfairly" characterized, don't get banned in the first place, and don't come back with the same junk in different packaging.
