If I may intervene to clarify some misinformation, it is a Terms of Use violation to "bypass any measures we [Fandom] may use to prevent or restrict access to the Site, including robot exclusion headers."

Sockpuppets are defined as accounts used for the purpose of deception/disruption, such as making wiki blocks void. Therefore, the rule that "sock accounts of blocked users will be banned immediately" has existed as a site-wide regulation before being made a local rule on the page.

The local rule, at best, serves as an additional reminder of existing regulation. The rule seems new, but it actually isn't. I'll be submitting this thread for further review.
