Does it ALWAYS mean they were "timed out" under their old screen name or could it just be they made another screen name, which one needs permission for,and they failed to do that?

In my experience, it's not a good thing. Usually, when it's benevolent issue, there's a 'formally known as' type of message under the new screen name. Sometimes it's in the signature but it's usually there if it's a "harmless" situation.

I've been duped before and I'm sure will be again as folks that have been removed from the site tend to weasel their way back in, one way or another. Luckily, they are usually caught pretty quickly. Sometimes I can spot a returning person and sometimes I can't.
