Which would actually be a pretty damned good litmus test to see if they have actually changed their behavior and deserve to continue posting here.

Pretty much my thoughts as well. I'm not asking nor expecting the moderating team to make an announcement about a returnee that they allow back everytime, but if the board is starting to guess it's them, just acknowledge that and the "outing" will stop. It's worked that way before with other posters. KevanGuy's simple "ok okay.. I get it" for another poster for example.
As a community it's really odd to have things we're flat out not allowed to discuss. I don't think a rule like this has existed outside obvious slander etc.
