Hi Declan,
At the moment, deputies do not have the technical ability to verify posters with multiple screen names to the extent that Dr. Bob does. In cases where there is an escalation to a thread or threads, deputies may use their best judgment, based on past history, patterns of posting, similarities in language, etc. to make the decision to block a screen name as coming from a blocked poster.
In the case of Dear_sweetie, there was enough content and style that was similar to scambuster and maryk to come to that conclusion, imo. In addition, I made the decision because the poster re-posted deleted posts.
Dr. Bob has the ability to overturn my decision (any deputy action) and (I believe) to restore deleted posts if appropriate.
