...get caught and admit it on a separate thread, will you get banned? And if not, why not?
Could MNHQ talk a little about their warning/banning procedure, without giving too much away obviously, so posters can understand?

Yes yes yes yes yes We are always prepared to fess up and say we have made a mistake when we have when i'm wrong I say I'm wrong
With regards to banning people, I am not going to bring out my lovely West Wing line as I know that it irks some of you and that is not what we're about. However pervs and truckers aside, it is almost inconceivable that we would ban someone permanently from Mumsnet without prior warning by email that they were consistently flouting the guidelines.

Albeit quite an obvious one

Hello.
Just to clarify a few things, sockpuppeting is something we take a dim view of, though it's not always an instantly bannable offence. It depends on the circs on each occasion. That said, we'd always mail the person to leave them in no doubt that breaking any of our rules again would set off the MNHQ alarms and they could be banned.
Re banning in general, we very rarely ban anyone for a single isolated incident.
We don't generally give out information about who we've banned and why. We can say that we don't have many rules on MN but we do ask everyone to stick to the few that we do have - and if they aren't prepared to, they don't really leave us much option but to suspend their ability to post.
