That said, individual wikias like Criminal Case can set their own policies on accounts if they would like to. Many wikias say you can only use one account, and put that into some sort of sockpuppet policy. You are welcome to do that if multiple accounts are a problem on your community. I should emphasize that last part; as always, you should only create policies as solutions to actual problems that your community is facing. So if there are no issues with multiple accounts, you probably don't need to worry about a policy.

When it comes to asking your wikia to follow the Terms of Use, I think a reminder about that is good but you don't need to go too far in terms of actually upholding it. The Terms of Use are an agreement between individual users and Wikia, and we don't ask local administrators to police the Terms of Use. If you see someone violating the Terms of Use, you can always report them to Special:Contact. Of course you can also block or otherwise handle them locally if their actions violate your wikia's policies, but specific Terms of Use issues can be reported to us.

I hope that answers your questions!

Muchos gracias. After thinking on how I should deal with violators who not only violate the Wiki that I administer, but also those who are going to break Wikia's terms of use from time to time, I've opted to start measuring punishments at the Wiki that I manage based on the severity of the rules broken. I might want to ease up on how I enforce the rules, but to ensure that there are no incidents occurring, as I want to make the Wiki a nice place to be as well, I'm pretty sure others feel the same as well.
