If we vote and it is decided not to codify sockpuppetry that does not stop us from adopting a custom of disclosure in the profile. Even in DC there are both written rules and customary behavior. When a sockpuppet appears I could shout "Hey Bozo! It's customary to disclose your board name in your profile," or something.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And when they say "I don't want to. Stop yelling at me." what happens next?

If the puppetry is all in good fun I enjoy or ignore it. If it is evil trolling I complain in B'crazy. If it is annoying me, but not evil I block them.
Although I really never yell at other posters. But I might. Someday.

That doesn't strike me as effective. It's the status quo from when Betsy brought it up, a status quo that was bothering people.

Oh I understand that. I'm good with the status quo this time is all.
And probably should stop posting and do some work, and yet my fingers are less than cooperative.

Blocking. Thank you, coders!

It does seem that between blocking and our policies for dealing with "demon-like behaviour" we have good tools in place to deal with sock-puppets.
If this goes to vote, one of the options needs to be for no change in board policy on this.
I also think that it could be a simple addition to the registration info that doesn't even mention sock-puppets, but merely says something along the lines of "Users with multiple accounts are requested to make a note they they are the same person in the user profile"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Clearly. Wouldn't a vote have to be change something or don't?

My experience around here is that all things need to be stated explicitly. The vote ballot has no requirement to have a "no change" option. I'm merely making sure that if we go that route that it makes it onto the ballot.
