I kind of strongly disagree with this. What kind of community are we, if you have to worry about being publicly shamed for an offence that gets banned at some later date?
Creating new accounts is trivial, but since it requires a high karma rating to mass-downvote people, it’s likely that the downvoter was at least somewhat invested in their membership here.
What exactly are you trying to get me to pattern-match to with that rhetorical question? We’re a totally normal kind of community with the ability to express social disapproval when people within the community act like dicks.

Well, I don’t like the idea that I’m a member of a community that might do that. Maybe I’m suffering from the typical mind fallacy here?
Still, I think I’ll refrain from any public shaming myself—unless you have arguments otherwise, which I’d be interested to hear.
