Warning
This is shockingly bad advice. I don't know any of the context of this, and just found the page while looking at unblock requests. but advising someone to create sockpuppets to avoid a topic ban seems, on its surface, to be a really, really bad idea. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:06, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

- I can't think of any time when advising someone else to break the rules that way would be a good idea. If you think that this person has been unfairly treated, the better thing to do would be making a strong case at WP:AN that the topic ban was unreasonable and should be lifted. It's never a good idea to goad someone into actions that would certainly lead to a permanent block for them. Even if yourgoal is that this person should be permanently blocked, it reflects badly on you to push them into it. A person who is not going to be a beneficial part of Misplaced Pages will eventually make that clear and be indefinitely blocked without any nudging. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
