Forum talk:Checkuser (admin discussion)

I wanted to put something out there about the checkuser tool. It might work 90% of the time, but you have to remember how nothing is foolproof and wikia software is no exception. When a user is shown to have the same IP as another user, the admins quickly jump to the conclusion of sockpuppeting. Remember, that in this day and age, mutiple computers can operate out of the same router, and therefore, multiple users can have the same IP, but they're not the same person. I would like to propose that there be some guidelines about the use of this tool, something along the lines of when it is appropriate to use and whether or not its use is really necessary. All users please share their thoughts on this, admins, B'crats, and regulars.
