Most of the time, in my experience as an admin, when users use socks in order to "get a second chance", they don't change their behavior, and as a result, their socks are easy to spot by the same behavior that got them banned in the first place. In my experience, this is true about 99% of the time. Typical sock behavior can include: Recreating articles deleted by admins after receiving a warning, trolling on an admin's page, trolling other users, moving pages to inappropriate titles (we had to restrict page moving on Uncyclopedia as the result of page move vandals), and continuing disputes with other users where they left off with the first account (this includes any and all parties involved in the dispute other than admins acting as referees).

We also have a process to report trolls and vandals on Uncyclopedia called "Ban Patrol". If someone believes someone is spamming,  trolling or vandalizing, they put down the name of the troll/vandal and the reason they believe they should be banned. Alternatively, they can leave a message on an admin's page. An admin will look into it, and if the admin believes the ban request is valid, the ban will occur.
