Blocks
Creating another account for useful purposes, as encouraged is not really regarded as sockpuppetry. In my opinion it's not encouraging anybody to create another vandal account to evade the block, seeing as it states clearly useful contributions. — FireFox (υ|τ) 10:45, 23 April 2006
- In most cases, probably yes. But you're forgetting, these users are indefinitely blocked, meaning that they are 99.99% likely never to be unblocked. So if they wish to make useful contributions, creating another account is the only option, and we encourage that. — FireFox (υ|τ) 10:49, 23 April 2006
- That's not what I'm trying to say. Yes, anyone who wishes to be unblocked can put the unblock template on their page, but indefinitely blocked users are blocked for a reason and aren't very likely to be unblocked. Users aren't blocked indefinitely always from a community decision. The decision could be made by the ArbCom, or an individual administrator. We are not encouraging vandals to create a new account and continue vandalising, we're encouraging them to create a new account if they wish to make useful contributions. Anyway, there is a 10 user throttle on the number of accounts that can be created from one location. — FireFox (υ|τ) 11:01, 23 April 2006
