Yes it was that obvious, you might as well have come back as JDAW9. They haven't banned you again (yet) so just be good I guess and you'll be okay.
"Those accounts are deleted" factually inaccurate I mean there's like one member who's currently evading a permaban but nobody cares because they're more mature now than 15 years ago. Maybe you too should wait out 15 years and come back.
