Sock puppetry is the act of creating one or more alternate accounts that a user may use to create confusion, deception, or disruption. Such alternate accounts are known as sockpuppets, and are forbidden on this wiki. Scenarios include: Regardless of the circumstances, the general rule is one editor, one account, although users may open a bot or test account. The user may also move to a new account, but the other account will be blocked and thus rendered unusable. In these cases, the user should make it clear that they are created for that purpose.
