They make a new username and keep spamming

If someone is banned from the Forum, it means they can't participate in the Forum. If someone is banned from the game, that Account is banned from both. Unfortunately, as was pointed out, they just open a New Account and continue. Which is folly, since they can be banned the same way again if their behavior doesn't change.

Basically they can get on fourms anymore with the game account they have. However they just make more accounts and make more fourm accounts lol

They did state that very, very rarely they have banned an in-game account due to forum activity. But the one case they sited involved someone making violent physical threats to another player.

All the flags that they put on your posts remains (and vice versa).

Also, there appears to be two levels of banning.

One level is where you can no longer see their posts from their profile (@WOOLVERINE314). Their posts are still in the forum; you just can't see a listing of their posts from their profile.

The other level is that you can still see a listing of their posts from their profile (like the 2 banned posters noted earlier).

In any case, they can still create more accounts. In the old forum, a "player" fond of the DC character Flash had a number of banned forum accounts.
