And here I thought the deportation was meant to be a punishment, especially for returning to Fontan the LAST TIME, and that circumventing it would be a wrong thing to do.  My bad, thinking the Magistrates' verdicts mattered and should be followed at least until the "cooldown" period ended, rather than deleting just to recreate the same character to get around it.

You aren't helping your case.

More to the point, I will note that this is a character we have now had to deport twice. It is true that we don't ban them being in EC. But the character in question was deported, then deleted and re-made in Perdan immediately.

I have no beef with the character in Armonia, even though Armonia is a realm we've had concerns about in the past.

I am inclined to have concerns about the character in Perdan, however. Spontaneously deleting and then remaking your character to avoid Magistrate rulings does not seem okay. It's true we did not explicitly prohibit such a thing; but BM has never been a "letter of the law" community.

Alternatively, I can't help thinking, "Maybe I'd be okay with it if the character had a different name," in which case I wonder if maybe I'm not considering it very rationally. Or maybe we should be concerned about it, not as a question of thwarting the Magistrates, but as an abuse of game mechanics.

Meandering, I know; but, I would suggest the case is just a wee bit more complex.
