Yes, it's called the "duck test" and it works when said socks go back to doing the same things that got them banned in the first place. Don't do those things and nobody has any reason to suspect you of being a sock.
I was actually thinking of a couple of cases where innocent editors were permanently banned for apparently being my socks.
Give us examples. It is all very nice to claim that this has occurred but we need to see examples.
You don't *need* anything of the sort. I'm not going to bring up details of the uncomfortable past. If you really *want* to see examples, then Wikipedia is an open book and a bit of research will provide all you desire.
