Let's say we have someone who shitposts on a subreddit. The mods will ban the shitposter, but the shitposter deletes their account. Now can the mods ban this deleted account? They can remove the post, but now they wonder whether they can ban the account. How would that work? Would the mods request the admins to look at the deleted account? Also, how does that work with the ban evasion filter?

Is the username eventually recycled?

It's for Reddit actually. I cannot post it on Reddit.
