I do know that creating another account after you've been banned is against the rules of pretty much all forums and etc. that can place bans. They call it ban evasion, which is usually explicitly against the rules of places. It directly contradicts the ban decision, and in some places might get your account ban to something more permanent if it wasn't already and also your IP Address banned, too.
