dsplayer/beluga/melina and Catradora_Stalininsm/HelltakerHomosexual prove that this rule is entirely dependent on how much the admins like you personally.
I can’t speak to past treatment, but those people are all currently banned, no? so it’s not entirely dependent, just a rule that needs some clarification and to be enforced more rigorously+consistently (but given the nature of opsec and alts, its not actually possible to police them perfectly)
Both of them were banned and unbanned on their latest accounts, and only kept banned when their behavior became completely indefensible. If the admins had actually addressed the rule between then and now I might feel differently, but why should I think other users the admins like would be/are being treated differently?

sure, but like I mentioned in my other comment the admins made it very clear they knew who HeltakerHomosexual was.
yeah I would agree there’s an issue with longtime problem users being given too many chances
although zposter might be a good counterexample of someone who was similarly banned and unbanned a lot and hung around a long time despite many blatant rule violations, but was clearly not well liked by the admin team. I would love to see some self-crit on why this phenomenon has occurred with so many harmful users and how to stop it in the future

This is probably a good point, but (fortunately?) I’m somehow not really familiar with zposter. From context around this thread you’re probably right.
Yeah, it does not appear the CoC has been updated
