Multiple use of accounts
editI am hoping to get some feedback on this SPI. I was told that use of multiple accounts is is not prohibited, only the abuse of multiple accounts. The accounts reported are "contribut[ing] to the same page or discussion in a way that suggests they are multiple people" which is a violation in my opinion. However, I was told that if they are being disruptive that this is an ANI issue. Just looking for clarification on 1) is using multiple accounts (undisclosed) to edit the page to avoid scrutiny a violation and 2) should this be an ANI issue or an SPI issue?
