Guys as far as the moderation goes please email me if you suspect someone of being an alt of a formerly banned person, but otherwise just ignore or treat as normal until I deal with it and also try to keep that kind of discussion out of diaries and comment threads.
The problem is more likely to go away the less attention is paid to it. Rest assured that I'm working on it, I'm just not always around immediately to deal with things. Thanks, and if you have any questions feel free to email me.
