It’s enforced, believe me. Even with a VPN. I think they must use browser and app fingerprint, it isn’t just IP.

In the end it really seemed like I had been flagged as an undesirable. I’d have what I thought were pretty reasonable discussions at night, and then wake up to another account permabanned. The last couple I didn’t even get a link to the offending content, just a message about being in breach of their content policy in some undefined way.

I fucking hated that site anyway.
