Template talk:Sockpuppet

Do we need this?
Is this really needed, except to spread rumors and paranoia throughout the community? --Gares Redstorm 15:03, 18 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Not at all. We are small enough for talk pages to do fine &mdash; Skuld  15:07, 18 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes it is needed. If the person who received the sockpuppet banner disagrees, he is free to remove it and fight it out in talk. Consensus and AGF is impossible in the presence of sockpuppets, so there has to be a way to flagging them. It is even more important for small wikis because consensus can be swayed easily by even one or two alternate identities. F G 15:15, 18 June 2006 (CDT)
