It's not really "behaving" for a lot of them so much as hiding. Their mentality is unchanged, they just post on an alt or post on a board where they know they won't get modded. Then they do the exact same thing they did before.

They should cut down on alts. But the users that have alts shouldnt be allowed to completely change the moderation system like its not designed to just punish users that people dont like, its designed to help guide users to change up their posting habits, and become positive members of the community.

Its why Ive been preaching that mod notes should be required, not optional. Without mod notes its not guaranteed that the system is doing as it was designed. If the user moderates had no idea why theyre moderated then the system is just being used for punishment and not reformation which is technically mod abuse as defined by CJayC back in the day.

Find a way to crack down on the users that keep on making alt accounts, or coming back under new accounts once banned. But taking empthasis off of user rehabilitation by keeping a longtime users stuck in a suspension loop for the rest of their days is beyond counterintuitive.
