User blog comment:Sannse/You and Your Socks/@comment-27446087-20160320034358

Thank you for the informative blog post. I can see the difference between a good sock and a bad sock, as well as joking with socks can be a bad thing, as I have expericened this first hand. Personally, I have not socked, but, fairly recently, on a wiki where I serve an Administrator position, another Admin of ours created a sock [as a supposedly harmless prank] based on a user we had globally blocked from Wikia. This led to a plethora of confusion and fear among our community, and is the reason why we do not allow socks there unless consent has been given by an Administrator/Bureaucrat.
