Oh, Crap!.

Got a lot of deletion to do, then.

@Eth Zee: She did "appeal the ban." And by "appealing the ban" we mean "denied the existence of her sockpuppets completely." Hence why she's still banned.

How she got here? A proxy, probably.

Do note that deleting an account doesn't delete it from the list that I can see, so whenever a mod gives you a number, mental subtract off the number of accounts you've already deleted.

@AHR: This isn't actually about the number of sockpuppets, so, no, it's unlikely that we would use that method.

...Huh.

When I try to switch to my sockpoppet it just switches back to me. 0_0

Is it really necessary for you guys to record the deleted sockpuppets in here?

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

Alright then. As long as a Google-ban isn't the first resort for the AutoBahn 2000, then I'm satisfied.

Already deleted:

  • Fast Jangada G

Held by others:

If the ones held by others are deleted, I'll have 9 accounts including "Gelzo." That should be acceptable, right?

I don't know if this is something you can share, but...in general, is the actual banny thing liable to turn up more or fewer accounts than the mod's IP checker?

I don't actually know. I can imagine reasons for it to catch both more and fewer, though I think that if you've been fairly consistent, then it should only count your own sockpuppets.

Would 10 be acceptable?

I'm not counting my brother's account, though.

According to the OP, 10 is safe, but I wouldn't count on the tool recognizing your brother's account as not one of the 10.

Okay, so my own fears are unfounded, since only nine (eight now) other accounts are linked to my IP. However, of those accounts, one is another troper (neobowman), one is probably his sockpuppet (Kamina), and one I'm not sure about (Santos L.Halper). So yeah, add me to the pile of people with IP issues.

Incidentally, what happens to posts from deleted accounts? Nothing immediate, apparently, but I'd be curious to know what happens in the long term. Are their avatars deleted?

According to the mod tool (which is less accurate than the admin tool), you have four accounts. Would you still like to see the list?

Would it be okay if I deleted all the ones I can delete, and then provided a list of the ones that I couldn't remember the password of for mod deletion?

Wait, is 10 counting your main account or not?

And I just realized I have no sockpuppets despite all my intentions to make one or two.

Main plus nine.

I would say something disdainful towards Mount Fire Eyes, but this is Wiki Talk and I try to stay more civil here.
