(/me nods) I think that sounds like valuable criteria to include under "determining if it's harassment or not". If someone is so dedicated to coming after their target that they start creating multiple accounts, then I think that's at least a relatively objective measure. Likewise, if you block someone in two or three outside-project channels, and the same messages start showing up in even more outside-project channels, that too becomes something close to an objective measure of harassment. Even so, there's a flip side. If someone want to make a false accusation as an attack to get their target banned, the false accuser can create those accounts themselves and start projecting a harassment campaign where none exists. So even the existence of alternative accounts used to continue otherwise-blocked communications is not a certain measure. -- Paul M.
