Bad Actors Usually Return to the Crime Scene

Modern Trust & Safety systems are increasingly good at answering one question: does this piece of content or this account violate policy? That's the right first pass. But repeat abuse rarely stays neatly contained within one account. Bad actors learn what gets removed, adjusted, and come back through new accounts, IP addresses, devices, and payloads. The harder part is recognising that you've seen some version of this before. Most moderation systems aren't built to connect those signals back to previous cases and decisions.
