Ban evasion
A ban evasion occurs when the offender uses technical means to work around the ban and post to the communication venue from which he/she was banned. A common example of ban evasion is using a different e-mail address to post to a mailing list. An event of purposeful ban evasion can result in extending the disciplinary action already set, without additional warning.

An event of posting is not considered ban evasion if either of the following occurs:
 * the message is blocked from reaching the venue (i.e. the ban works),
 * the message is passed through because of incorrect implementation of the ban (i.e. there is no real attempt of working it around),
 * the offender was not informed of the ban (however, note that he does not need to confirm receipt of the message).
