'''Ban Evasion'''. The SmashWiki will not tolerate Ban Evasion. Ban Evasion is defined as avoiding serving the time of a block or a ban by creating sockpuppet accounts to use instead of the blocked/banned account. Administrators would expect Ban Evasion to be carried out by permanently blocked users, but suprisingly, on most wikis I've been on, most users sockpuppet to evade temporary bans. Creating another account because your original account was blocked for being created just for advertising purposes, being created just to make defamatory comments, or possesing an unnacceptable username is not considered to be Ban Evasion and is allowed as long as the account is not for advertising purposes, is not for making defamatory comments, and does not have an unnacceptable username. Ban Evasion is not allowed on the wiki because there is a chance that the user will do more damage using the sockpuppet. Sometimes, blocked users piggy-back on accounts of other users they know, rather than creating sockpuppets. This is also wrong, but it is harder to catch users doing this.
