What happens if you identify a banned member with a new profile?

It varies based on time elapsed since the ban, the original reason for the ban, whether the user is behaving themselves and other such factors, but in practice it comes down to "Whatever Sim decides should happen" at the end of the day.

And needless to say, you should quietly inform a mod about it rather than dispensing vigilante justice....
How about those (formerly) regular poster's who seem to be posting less and less as time goes by? @devilfish is one whose regular posts are sorely missed, and I was esctatic the other day when @Maguari did an actual visit report from Twycross Zoo!

I've always been here, but most of my recent visits have been to familiar zoos well-covered by news reports, so most of by recent posts are Big Year-related! (I also miss the gallery discussions being easily browsable - they were generally the most interesting!)
I totally agree with this point, in fact it's probably the gallery (and the photos from ZooHistorica 2011 in particular!) which got me talking to you in the first place!
He's still busy, just not posting. Maybe he's used up his lifetime supply of exclamation marks.
Two newer members who use to be very prolific when they joined last year @Water Dragon and @Komodo99 have also seemed to have gone, I’ve seen either one comment on a thread for a long time, I wonder what may have happened to them?
I was wondering about those two as well. They knew each other quite well I recall and left about the same time. I remember they both worked with animals.
Don't just assume that because someone hasn't posted recently that they have "left". For example, one of the members mentioned has recently been online even if they haven't posted in several months.
You should check a user's profile because it generally indicates the last time they logged on (unless they have chosen not to make this information visible to other members).
Some people still lurk even if they don't post.
A few more worth mentioning...
beccasunbear/agnmeln - after joining at the end of last year, she changed her name rather abruptly and went MIA short after and has not been online in nearly 3 months.
GraysonDP - last contributed over a year ago and has not been online since October. Though he is alive and well, and has switched his attention over to his blog Zoophoria, and now interviews zoo directors and curators.
reduakari - while not completely gone, he has only posted four times within the past year. Made some very thought provoking and often humorous remarks.
mstickmanp - frequently updating Los Angeles zoo news, but has been missing since January. Though he is also alive and certainly well.
Though to end on a positive note, Nisha is still around. Often posting a smaller births or other events at zoos in the UK.

@vogelcommando abruptly disappeared a while ago, which is uncharacteristic. If anyone knows him personally... hope he is well.

I join to the asking for somebody that knowns him personally, please give us news of him. He disappeared in the middle of a private conversation that I had with him about possible hosting/guiding in my planned Netherland zootour. Last reply was that he was busy with the renovation of his house, nothing bad but very time-consuming. But that was about a month ago... I don't think that house renovation make him disappear completely from forum during so long time. I wonder if he just ended without internet line in his new home...? Who knows...?

Possibly worth pointing out at this juncture that @zoogiraffe has also returned, albeit somewhat tentatively – still making the site a much richer place with his presence.
