I think we should.

Good Points: if we do this,we won`t have to guess who a suspicious User is, and also can ban faster. They tend to chance out socks Days after they`re blocked.

So banning them faster,will make them want to give up, due to so many signing up processes.

Also,Users who are trusted,but make Sockpuppets for shit`s and Giggles,can be detected without even asking.

This will also stop giving Users MORE reasons to create Socks.

Since mostly,they want revenge.

This is apparent in Users like Slack who are questioned for socking,and we deliver a few harsh words,which makes them think "I`M MAKING ANOTHER! AND LETTING THEM HAVE IT!

Bad Points: Dynamic Ip`s can render this useless,and a lot of sockpuppets use Dynamic Ip`s.

We used to have Users that accepted their ban,and couldn`t create another account.

But with an ever-changing roster of Proxies,this may only be useful for dumbed down users,or just to show them we mean business.

Thanks for reading.
