This page describes one of Xenopedia's policies and guidelines. All users are expected to follow policy, except where it would damage the wiki. If you have any questions, suggestions, or complaints, please post them on the talk page. |
Like most if not all wikis, sockpuppetry and the use of more than one account is forbidden and will resuilt in potentially an instant block.
The exception to this is if a user create a new account to use and lets the community know who they are and what their accounts were, that way the previous accounts can be banned and no one is decieved by the user. Trust is important for a community and deceptive behavior will not be tolerated.
Sockpuppetry[]
Sockpuppetry is when multiple accounts are used for deception and is usually, but not always, to evade bans. Sockpuppetry is often by used as a laymen term for multiple accounts abuse, regardless of the intent behind them. Sockpuppets will earn an instant perma ban and will get reported, which will eventually result in a global bad for the user and their accounts.
Multiple Accounts[]
Sometimes depending on the wiki, multiple accounts have been known to be tolerated so long as the user lets everyone know about them and has them connected, using a similar name is usually advised. However, this wiki requires people to have only one account. No matter your reasons, you are only allowed one account here. Name changes and account changes need to be disclosed to the community.
