I doubt if it was the latter - mods normally use the "banhammer" process w.r.t. "first-time-posts"only. However there are also other automated first-post checks which, of course, maybe unlikely to be able to check for similar, existing, users. Real humans vs. the robots (or should i say, A.I.bots) unfortunately. From my p.o.v. better to use a "real" name rather than a "nickname" - but then I'm somewhat ancient and treat the written/typed "word" cf. the "spoken" differently**. (Or, to put it another way, if one is going to write "with authority" best to be able to to provide evidence of that "authority" should it be required. )Cannot say I have ever seen any other account name like mine (given the amount of time I've hung around on here thought I would have spotted at least one) and a scan through the 'm' users back till beginning of May does not show any so they must have been sleepers (unusual going by the ones I've reported).
Still nothing from the 'admins' so I guess I'll give up as trying to recover posts is a waste of time (as the board only has 'quoted' items).
Doubt I'll be back on here till Thursday (family bits) - something may have changed by then.
Cannot help wondering if the mod I had issues with decided to revisit me???
