(Added sock puppetry policy, since these rules are already enforced and widely accepted)
Line 21:
 
<li>Blocks will escalate in severity if multiple offenses are committed.
 
<li>[[wikipedia:wikipedia:Sock puppetry|Sock puppetry]] is prohibited:
::*The general rule is one editor, one account; [[The Sims Wiki:Bot|bots]] are an exception, but bot ownership must be clearly stated on the bot userpage.
::*Do not use multiple accounts to mislead, deceive, or disrupt; to create the illusion of greater support for a position; to stir up controversy; or to circumvent a block.
::*Do not ask friends or family to create accounts to support you.
::*Exemptions to this rule may be granted so long as only one registered account is used to access and edit the wiki at any one time, and as long as it is clearly stated on the account userpages that the accounts are linked. Please contact an [[The Sims Wiki:Administrators|administrator]] for further conditions regarding this rule.
::*Violation of this policy will result in a block (possibly permanent) against the "main" account, and permanent blocks for all inappropriate socks.
 
</li></ol>
 
General Admins like Wikia admins, janitors, and helpers may use discretion when blocking a user, as that user may or may not be doing cross-wiki vandalism.
 
''This Rules Policy has taken effect as of 28 March 2008. Sock Puppetry rule has taken effect as of 30 January 2011.''
