DS double tagging[edit]

Irish RepublicanMedia (talk · contribs) was soft blocked and requested a rename to BalearicSunrise (talk · contribs) but then went ahead and registered the new username and started using it. IRM had a DS notice for the troubles. BS is editing in the same area so I gave them a DS notice too. It seems a grey area between double tagging the same person (probably) and ensuring that the second account was aware. Not sure how it falls from an Arbcom rules perspective.

(talk page watcher) Cabayi, I don't see anything too wrong with that, though this is definitely IAR territory. I'd say that the second notice makes it clear for anyone who doesn't check the past account that they have in fact been notified. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:55, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
Although GN has given a good answer, my response to this would be alerts apply per editor (and thus per person) and not per account. As such they are formally aware. However, the DS alert filter log which is used to check if a editor is formally aware doesn't show this previous alert under their new username. Although the accounts may be clearly linked, a passing editor may miss the previous alert which isn't desirable.
Therefore, I think that IAR applies here. For example, if DS is likely to be used to warn/sanction the editor placing the alert again for the entry to show up in the log will likely prevent confusion or misunderstanding. However this may not be needed for a constructive editor who had the alert simply because they edit in the topic area. Regardless, an editor in good faith placing an alert on a new account before the 12 months is up cannot be seen as disruptive in my eyes.
