User blog comment:Angelcrest52/Would it be called Sockpuppeting if you made a second account because your first account was cluttered but still acknowledged you were that person?/@comment-9026519-20160826070441

Sockpuppeting is when someone makes a secondary account to avoid a ban or getting in trouble. If you want to make a second account for reasons such as, your old one is too cluttered, you want a new name, because you lost your old accounts password or other harmless reasons similar to those mentioned. It would, however, be sockpuppeting if you make your account to avoid a ban, to break rules, to avoid getting in trouble, or anything related to breaking rules and avoiding the repercussions.
