I wish the admins would just deactivate all old nicks or set it up so that if a nick doesn't log in for 30 days, they become inactive, or they get switched into another classification that gives them no access to read or post.

I really can't see any financial benefit to having previously banned people logging into fakenicks just to get banned all over again. They don't need advertiser impressions that badly I would hope.
