Raul654 is my sockpuppet. Just throwing that out there.

But seriously, does it even matter if they are banned users if they 
haven't given any legitimate cause for concern? An admin who is abusing 
his tools in either obvious or subtle ways will be quickly identified as 
problematic. The obvious abusers, granted, aren't much cause for concern 
- as has been displayed already, they can be removed expediently. Subtle 
abusers could cause more damage over time, potentially, but you no doubt 
are well aware of that.
