Maybe they do think about it (most of them are pretty smart). Maybe they know there are trolls/attention hos out there who get off on flouncing off demanding to be deleted or creating new accounts when they have run out of tricks, and the webmasters want to give the other users the option to call them out on their BS when the come back anew?
