When players who were banned for cheating are let back into either of the competition-running lobbies, they should undergo a probationary period during which they lose privacy rights for all accounts, be they linked alts or clean-slate mains. The mods can set up a thread with a list of all accounts held by recently unbanned cheaters and either (a) consistently monitor users who have made the list or (b) install a simple account approval process whereby failure to inform the mods of newly registered accounts constitutes a violation of the rules.
This might be worth a go for any game-related ban, not just cheating, but that would probably involve a lot more maintenance.
also, the majority of recent cheater-catchings have been by the community as opposed to the moderators therefore the information should be publicly visible.

In the history of this stupid website there has not been a single cheater, including all the notorious cheaters, who has been unable to enjoy games on a publicly known account upon returning from his/her ban. Literally zero cheaters have undergone this horrible experience that you're arguing against. None.
so why do you need to have a public list if youre not looking for people to avoid or looking to shame them/continue to bring it up? to watch over their every move?
an in-game cheater mark will be an insta-dodge, though, for anyone, not just caremad people like us

Eh, I suppose. But you have to assume that most people don't already check the forums/reports for cheaters. I'm saying it could go either way, but I'm still for the basic idea.
A lot of people play with him, too. Most people didn't avoid you, Togepi, Kelly, Cory, Kennedy; the list goes on ad infinitum. Even abc was able to play games without hassle when he was unbanned.
