Please. Yes, theoretically, it's possible for someone to run multiple accounts. However, this is possible even without open proxies, and it's really not particularly difficult to tell that someone has sockpuppets if all of their accounts use open proxies, they all have the same voice, and they all do suspicious things together. Using open proxies doesn't block checkusers from finding sockpuppets, and it doesn't mean that the user's account will magically become compromised.
Sure it does. Editing through an open proxy exposes a user's account to compromise in the exact same way that editing on a public computer does.
