Can we have a ban on sockpuppets to multiple-vote on posts?

This is an effective measure used on other sites. Usually it results in account merging, but as this isn't as effective on Reddit-like sites it'd probably be better to just flag them as "aliases" that are unable to vote on posts, and invalidate the duplicate votes.

This would solve one particular problem we have here.

With a system like this, we'd have to have an "admin watch" subsaidit, but we really need one anyway – just in case.

Accounts aren't necessarily associated with email.

So what counts as a sockpuppet would be up to admin discretion.

Is that a question, or a statement?

Yes?

(A statement.)
