I once (maybe 2 years ago?) made a 2nd account to troll a guy for 5 minutes like that.

I barely altered the username and for the avatar I opened it in MSpaint and drew a goatee.

I posted once as a joke then closed it.

A moderator warned me not to do that again tongue.png

Someone just recently closed his year+ long account at another site. Chess rating never improved despite 1000+ games. Banned from playing a certain variant for engine use. Seems he's "bored" once again and up to the old tricks.

Some of the people who me make new accounts have valid reasons.

E.g.
I had to change my account from my the FB link account because someone threatened my life just because cursed him for stalling

Support can definitely help there - they can change your account name, switch your details to your new account, things like that. Threatening someone else is also a very clear breach of the Terms of Service and is usually an instant mute at the very least.
