What the fuck?
Using a second account to deceive people into thinking you are not under an active sanction, is the most socky sock-puppetry thing you can do. It is right there in the policy ("Evasion of sanctions"). There is literally no way you can get around a sanction without resorting to sock-puppetry.
Except blindly hoping people just don't notice I guess. Obviously that does work for a lot of editors, but it isn't
evasion is it? Just exploitation of a known weakness of the cult of stupidity.
You get a good sense of why Wikipedia is such a car crash, when you realise how easily idiots like this get elected to the top table.
