Scratchpad:Sock puppetry

Sockpuppetry occurs when a user creates and uses two or more accounts abusively. In most regular wikis, people can make one or more accounts as alternate accounts or bots, which is acceptable, but most of the time they may abuse them for block/ban evasion, vandalism, and making false consensus at polls.

On Admin Tools Wiki, alternative accounts are allowed so users can test blocking, protection, for example, on those accounts, rather than testing on real users. Though testing on real users is fine, one has to revert the test right after, while this is unnecessary if the action was performed on an alternative account.
