We have issues with users running more than one admin account, and one of the ways they're allegedly doing this is by using open proxies.
Allegedly or actually?
Being able to log an admin's real IP address is the only tiny bit of accountability the Foundation has regarding admins.
Wait a minute. We weren't talking about logging real IP addresses per se, or accountability in general; we were just talking about identifying sockpuppets.
If instead of
Thou shalt not edit (even while logged in) from an anonymizer or open proxy
our policy was instead
If two accounts are suspected of being sockpuppets, and one or both uses an anonymizer or open proxy, we will assume identity
would the effect be the same? (As I understand it, currently, when a checkuser request shows up proxies or other shared IP addresses, the result is said to be "indeterminate" or some such.)
