Okay, wanted to reply this long but haven't got a chance to.

First of all I know about the IP Range Block, but it seems to be really ineffective, because of NO's IP showing, his IP comes in a super-wide range, from 3.x.x.x to 225.x.x.x, and like you said, will ban innocent users...

Oh, and you included your 6 kids when you give an example of the same-IP issue, does it mean you encourage underages to go on wikia?

Then about the "thou shalt not tolerate a sock live", well.... It was a super-old rule that I guess was derived from Bloons Wiki. But for most of the time when we ban a sockpuppet, it's mostly (always) because that the sock is literally a sock made from a banned user trying to get alive (and half of them because of Wikia disablement), and one for destructive purposes (Vandal, that is). And mostly because that there is no other reason to make a sock other than to evade blocks (and become a completely different person and self-praise (PZFan, I meant)). There is no need to make a clone, like, to pretend to be a lower-rank for better interaction with lower-graders, or to spy others with a hidden identity (so far).

Then back to NO and Smelly, I have to agree that NO is not socking for good purposes but Smelly is. NO, every time he makes a new account, is like "Screw TOU! This is a replace account of the disabled one, so trolololo!" and instantly goes to mess around. But Smelly, really wanting to contribute, is like "I want to join this wiki without getting blocked again! My age is secret My account 'isn't' sock and I will no longer have relation to my older accounts just to lower suspicion!". However, what I see is: whenever Smelly gets a new account, he contribute something low in quality and actually having the same attribute with his old accounts (e.g. My age is secret, I don't want to get blocked again, I want the age limit to be 9 etc.). And for NO, his username spoiled all.

The thing I don't like about Smelly is simply that he invades the blocks and continue contributes badly like before (and as I see it is going worse). NO being disliked is obvious and just for that I need some preventions of those blocked socks to change their IP and rejoin.
