#When blocking vandals or other troublemakers, uncheck the "block anonymous users only" box.  The block is more secure this way as it will block the IP Address that the vandal or troublemaker is using which will make it impossible to use the same exact computer connection to edit Conservapedia.

#To check if a new editor is a [[Sockpuppets|sockpuppet]], use the "Checkuser" function to see if the editor is using the same IP address to edit Conservapedia as a known vandal. Checkuser can be found [[Special:Checkuser|here]].

#Given the amount of vandalism at Conservapedia, if the IP address check shows that the IP address is being used by two usernames the person is likely a [[Sockpuppets|sockpuppet]] who is using the same computer connection to edit Conservapedia. It is suggested that you block the person and if a mistake was made and the person was merely using a public computer that another person used the mistake can be undone if necessary. However, given the amount of vandalism at Conservapedia it is better to err on the side of caution and block the suspected sockpuppet.
