While I trust Field Marshal(l), those accounts are indeed considered sockpuppets. We are on a small wiki, so I would overlook it... if it weren't for our election system. We use Wikia's voting system to elect members to our staff, and if we allow sockpuppets, the election system could be broken overnight.

If we change to a more stable vocal voting system (i.e. "I think that STARS is the rightful governer of the Rainbow Unicorn system!"), the problem wouldn't be resolved. I could make 5 different accounts and pretend that they were real people, and then get unlimited votes. The sockpuppet master will always get their way, unless we regulate who gets vast amounts of accounts here.
