[[Checkuser]] can trace the originating IP or proxy of vandals and sockpuppets. If the IP address check shows that the IP is being used by two usernames the person is likely a [[Sockpuppets|sockpuppet]] who is using the same computer connection to edit Conservapedia. The user will be blocked and if a mistake was made the error can be easily undone.

== Oversight ==
Oversighters have the ability to permanently remove revisions from view. This is used to hide personally identifiable information that was posted inappropriately. [[Oversight]] can also be used to hide particularly harsh libel or personal attacks, or [[Conservapedia:Inappropriate language|inappropriate language]], such as obsenity. Oversight is a maintenance tool to protect privacy and Conservapedia's family friendly atmosphere, not a weapon to stifle criticism and active discussion.
