that in the wake of the Poetlister incident
we've seen that Checkuser
data
is not compromise-proof.
While checkuser data can be circumvented by clever users, I should add
that checkuser evidence of Poetlister actually did reveal
sockpuppeting.
I know. I meant that we've seen the integrity and security of OUR checkuser
records can be compromised, as Poetlister actually had Checkuser himself, as
Cato on English Wikiquote. Hence my questions...
