the asinine part is not why it's illegal behavior it's that when they block you indefinitely and when you want to edit do they not expect you to evade the block why is the length of time you are expected to stay away from sockpuppeting or requesting unblock lengthened if the edits that were made with the sock are good edits it's that they don't have enough sense to know that if the user is unblocked for making good edits with a sock that it is more likely that they will not sockpuppet again especially if they did not abuse the sockpuppets when their main account was unblocked i understand the possibility for the unblocked user to return to the behavior that they were blocked for but a community that has assumption of good faith as a guideline should abide by that guideline t
