That part I do get. Mods have said before it's because if they make the decision to allow someone to come back, they want to distance that poster from their previous username.
That one I'm on board with because we're not very welcoming as a community to posters who were banned for not fitting in. For example, if you had come back as Blairwitch again, this place wouldn't have even given you a chance. You would have been ridiculed and reminded of your first go around with every post, and may have reverted back to your old self.
Instead you came back as a new user, made a huge change in your posting style and are now a normal, contributing member of CP.
