Taxing Matters
People post here using screen names rather than their real names. But they are people just the same. The screen name is really not material. It is people who are subject to the TOS, not screen names. The screen names provide a degree anonymity, which is desirable for many online forums, but does not change that the screen name represents the person behind it. As Shakespeare stated so eloquently in Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene II:
"What’s in a name? that which we call a rose
By Any Other Name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title.”
In short, I think you are straining to make a difference where there is none. The TOS do not expressly prevent a person who was banned from the forum from returning using another screen name. As a technical matter than ban simply prevents the person from logging in using the one screen name. But the moderators could, should they choose, ban you by IP address or take other actions to prevent you from using this regardless of screen name.
