Although Wikipedia's policies have no jurisdiction here, I think [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOCK this] has a really good list of legitimate and illegitimate uses of sockpuppets, most of which apply here.

Most of these don't even apply to SmashWiki and can't apply to Smashwiki. I see no reason to give Users a "second chance" account. Think about what would have happened to the wiki if the first round of kids, basically all having been banned at some point, had made "second chance" accounts. Nothing would have changed, and it would have taken an obnoxious amount of effort to track their identities down and administer proper punishment. If a user wants a second chance, we've given them plenty. Just ask BNK, who was permabanned and for legitimate reason. He got a second chance, and he's done fine, but he didn't necessarily deserve one. The point is, second chances are the community's to grant. If you say that people deserve a second chance sock, you're saying that it is their ''right'' to have their record erased and get a second chance, and that's not how things should be done.
