I also could've undone the permaban, but the instant you made that sockpuppet account, it violated the no sockpuppet rule, regardless of the first violation's stance. You were on the wiki long enough to know we do not allow sockpuppet accounts. You could have come here, for instance, to ask why the block was, or to offer proof that you were not the other editor. We would have looked into that and possibly overturned the permaban or reduced it. However, the moment that second account went live, and you confessed it was you, that made it stand because it violates the no sockpuppet rule. Ultimately, the outcome of the first issue no longer matters, because the second issue is a guaranteed permaban regardless.
