What constitutes "bad behavior" is dependent in part on whether or not
you're socking. According to arb com less than 24 hours ago,
"Sockpuppet accounts are not to be used in discussions internal to the
project, such as policy debates." While maybe that is an overbroad
statement, I still think it's valid in at least some situations.
(There is the question from there of whether we should
hold more
experienced editors responsible for bad behavior more quickly and more
severely, but that's off the topic of this thread...)
That too.
