Creating new accounts to contact people who have blocked you

This is not something I have done but a situation which I have observed. An individual has blocked another user on iNaturalist as they do not wish to communicate with them. The blocked individual has created a new account to avoid this and commence contact with them again. Is this allowed? Is it something I should flag?

Cheers,
Daniel

The blocked individual actually created a thread about this, 16 minutes before you :eyes::popcorn:

This is definitely sockpuppet behavior. https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/community+guidelines

A sockpuppet account is an additional account set up to evade suspension, circumvent restrictions in functionality, or other forms of bad behavior, like confirming your own identifications.
