#If you have run checkuser (which you should generally only do with probable cause) and determined the user has created sock-puppet accounts, the user should be blocked. Be wary that multiple distinct users might just be editing from a public location - for example a school, a coffee house or a library.
#If you have run checkuser (which you should generally only do with probable cause) and determined the user has created sock-puppet accounts, the user should be blocked. Be wary that multiple distinct users might just be editing from a public location - for example a school, a coffee house or a library.
#Furthermore, users with blocking rights must be very careful in the issuance of a block. Unwarranted blocks that may be undone clog the block log, and future Administrators may unfairly consider an established user as a troublemaker, when the real problem lies with an unjustifiable block made by an Administrator. When a blocking error occurs, it's best for everyone involved for the original blocking editor to undo the action so as to limit confusion. However, this is not always possible. Use the Edit summary to create a permanent record for blocking justification.

#The primary purpose of the blocking tool is aimed at behavior modification, not vengeance.
