Why would new, non returning users even know of this thread? or think to look themselves up here to see if people are speculating that they are returning users?

As vain as it sounds I searched for my username in the search bar to see if anyone had quoted me in the CBA threads and I just didn't notice.
This gem of a topic popped up and I was quite interested to read what was going on.

The other painfully obvious trend in returning posters is the 3 posters out, 3 posters in phenomenon.
3's just an example. But whenever you see 3 or 4 high profile, high post count posters get the boot one week. The next two weeks, without fail, you see 3 or 4 new posters show up and start posting like crazy and knowing the ins and outs of CP.
We're seeing it right now. We had a few guys get the boot in late October, early November, and like clockwork we're seeing three or four new guys posting all over the place, who clearly know this place.

It's amazing isn't it?
The thread has turned into a fun one but I started it as a way to curb returning posters. The mods either ignored my ideas or don't like them, which is fine but I really wish there was a way to limit the involvement of new posters. The way a guy gets banned and just comes back like gang busters under a new account annoys me.

Had an idea!

Well I don't follow along near as much as you guys, but I'd venture a guess that just because it annoys you isn't reason enough for the mods to subnet ban their IP address.

Well, that and blocking a subnet can cause a high level of collateral damage.

Just cause your name is undercoverbrother doesn't mean you have to ask "undercover" questions. Just tell us what you really want to ask.

I thought it was straight forward.
Were any returning posters ID'd.
What is the disconnect? I know you wish me to be a returning poster. As I have said before PM a mod and ask.

For someone that is a "new" poster, you sure seem to protest and care quite a bit.

undercoverbrother, whoever he is, has always been a little grating on the nerves since he signed up. Now he's just flat out being an annoying twerp.
