I have to admit, I hardly ever see bots. I never really thought of those as different accounts.

Some wikis are for RPGs, and they routinely allow switching between names for the sake of the role-plays. Special cases, but they exist.

Are you meaning all those trolls from Idea wiki, The Parody Wiki, or Fan Fiction wiki, then they need to stay away from normal wikis. I'm tired of deleting their trash. They are the sort I see using multiple accounts, spamming pages (and categories) with false information. That pretty much is what I'm seeing.

Staff's stance on it is: multiple accounts are fine. It's misusing them that becomes an problem. "Socking" is not the practice of having more than one account, Socking is the practice of misusing them, including ban evasions.

And that is all I'm seeing. Most folks using more than one account aim to fool you.
