Right?? Like if someone made an account, left it, and then made a new account years later because they legitimately forgot about the previous account... I feel like they shouldn't get all the accounts banned tbh. I mean if the account hadn't had any activity for years, no sign ins or anything... c'mon.
I mean, that's actually something that sorta happened to a friend of mine on another site. Made an account, and then found out a little while later that they made a different account at least four years before that, which they had forgotten about. Thankfully the admin of that site just made them "move" to the older account in the end (with them allowing the friend to use the name they gave their newer account on the older account while renaming the newer one, but all the items and such had to be left on the newer account). Like, give people some mercy if the older/alt account HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED FOR YEARS.

I know this doesn't apply to BM, but still, guh.
