Sockpuppetry refers to a user creating multiple accounts and using them on the same wiki for the purposes of disrupting the community. They can be used for "ballot stuffing" on straw polls (such as BOTM) and for block evasion. The creation of multiple accounts for disruptive purposes is strictly forbidden. Sockpuppetry usually results in an indefinite block on the user; in most cases, the offender's IP address is blocked to make further account creation more difficult.
