We do not need to or want to. Most of the time a modnote takes care of the issue. Repeat offenders are actually pretty rare. We do have a fall back of checking flags though, I’ve had to do this recently for the poster that I believe set off this thread.

And honestly, of none of the mods remember that they’ve given this poster mod notes about this topic, then it’s probably not a significant problem, and there’s no need to dredge it up.

We generally remember the notes we’ve given recently.
