It makes sense to check carefully when you see one of those approaching. But there's no will to do this, and the result is that we're a top--ten website with no idea how many admins we have. We know how many accounts, but not how many people, and we don't know whether they include banned users.
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.
