The rules intact now for sockpuppeting didn't apply then. You were actually allowed to use socks in a non-malicious manner as she did at that time - but assuredly as you remember, not everyone was okay with it and it was what led to the stricter rules on sockpuppeting.

Ergo, I haven't brought up her case during the discourse of this thread - because it simply is invalid - as with others such as Water, whom I continue to throw into the concoction, he was applicable to be banned according to that revision of the rules, which Ailo was not affected by due to her actions on the sock not being "malicious" (e.g. causing chat disription, like Water did on his first attempt).

Admins were on at the time of her socking - and they debated, but didn't ban - and did you know why? Because it wasn't against rules at the time, as I've implied. That's why we debated it and ultimately got it to be punishable.

As much as I know this would help Octa's situation to remain unbanned, it is simply not comparable.
