Does anyone know how far back, if someone lodges a complaint, can an admin check the login and IP history of a suspected sockpuppet and sockpuppeteer? 12 months? 6 months? 1 month? ??Thanks..
Checkusers can do this. The checkuser function uses the raw server logs, which are kept for about a month. However, if this person showed up in an older checkuser run, and the person performing the check user saves the results then you might be able to go further back.

Haha no, I believe that an admin has been using socks on the side but I need to be 100% sure myself.
Nothing wrong with using socks - I'm sure most admins do. Using socks abusively is another matter.
