How do you know that sock puppets weren't the majority vote for this silly sock puppet policy? Members voted on the least secure method of keeping out trolls and THAT is what you go with?
So you manage a power spot on the internet by letting the trolls decide what is best? That's like Americans voting for Trump and then being surprised when the **** hits the fan. It's not a surprise. Also, you can't truly manage socks. The better trolls navigate around that. Yes, it'll catch the simpletons, but if we're going to have useless rules why not add in the rule that people can't be abusive. Currently, our site rules allow the equivalent of murder, but not theft. You can harass people until they're bloody, but no, you can't use socks to secretly compliment someone you like. A great master plan.
Actually, there are rules in place to deter harassment. Except those are rarely enforced. I'm not sure what's worse: having rules, but not enforcing them or having useless rules that cannot be enforced.
