Mod Question: How long is someone supposed to be banned for having an alternate account?

Depends on the situation and the mod to be honest.

We have two types of alts that we ban: Ban dodging alts and question asking alts.

• Ban dodging alts usually end up with the mod extending the original account's ban period. So for example, their ban is upped from 5 days to 7, or from 10 to 14, etc.
• Question asking alts do not post but instead are created to ask a mod a question. After the question is answered we perma the account but leave the original account alone, as they haven't tried to dodge a ban.

What about kowen's alternate id on the list?  Kowen doesnt appear to have been banned, so Is that an old one that just wasnt perma banned after he asked the question from a previous month?
