Previous account?
You've stated here, that this is not your first account. Would you mind sharing what your previous account was, and if it was under any sanctions / blocks? K.e.coffman (talk) 22:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I've usually just edited on throwaway accounts to preserve privacy. For the sanctions and blocks part, I believe I got blocked on an old account 2-3 years ago for being on a public wireless connection at college. Around a year ago, I was confused for a sockpuppet and got falsely banned from editing for around a month. Can I ask why you are curious? NormieSwarmie (talk) 23:02, 6 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Accounts aren't blocked for being on public wireless networks, Mr. Obvious-Sock-is-Obvious. --Calton | Talk 01:42, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * No, you are misunderstanding. This happened at our college's computer room, and students used the same computers and had the same IP addresses if they edited Wikipedia. When you have thousands of people, someone obviously does something stupid eventually. You can't be blocked for previously using old accounts as long as you do not vandalize on alternative accounts, correct? Anywhom, I'm now using just this account in the future.

 * Incorrect. And I understand perfectly well. ACCOUNTS aren't blocked for being on public wireless networks, Mr. Obvious-Sock-is-Obvious. --Calton | Talk 14:01, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

They are teaming up with it to create a new media network, so it's notable.

Hi, I've stared a WP:SPI which is linked above. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:07, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Alternative accounts are allowed as long as you do not vandalize. NormieSwarmie (talk) 02:08, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Wrong. There are multiple reasons for being disallowed, and "vandalism" is irrelevant since it's a blocking offense regardless of whether or not one runs socks. --Calton | Talk 14:01, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * This is a long-time socker. Irritating, no more. Edits are worthless, like this one--overlinking, mark of a mediocre editor trying to get autoconfirmed. Drmies (talk) 03:02, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
