Right. It seems to me that in this sort of case, aggressively
rooting out the "benign" sockpuppets would require an abuse of
the tools. Aren't you supposed to have probable cause before
using Checkuser on an account?
Except people do. ... The socks always edit the same topics
pushing the same things.
Okay. Then that isn't the "nothing offensive from the new account"
case that Ec and I were talking about.
