He tried starting a new account about a week ago. Jason's policy is to ban both accounts and let them ask for reinstatement. Basically Jason said he can come back whenever he wants, but he needs to pm/email Jason to tell him which account he wants to use.
I don't get people who deactivated an account to sign up on a new one. Why don't you just ask for the name to be changed? It'll have exactly the same result.
It really puzzled me.
