It has always been like this.

But you can recognize the "resurrected" by checking their missing scratchpad.

update

I just realized that "new" Olivia was reaped/locked again. That's debatable, I didn't see any violation in the new post, that's why I didn't consider it.

Though it most probably was a trial balloon to test our reactions.

In that case we could just automatize this ...

    Perhaps (s)he wanted to try out whether names of banned users must be unique, too? 🤔

      Fortunately, the spammers spend very close to zero time actually figuring out how this site works. Spammers are corporate entities; and they have their own ways of creating user names, which in general are not the real names of people. I suspect they have a stock of usernames they keep using over and over. So it's actually better to let them use the same name repeatedly, as that makes them easier to track.
