But if AdjustShift is a sockpuppeteer and you and the other checkusers know about it, then an explanation is in order on why AS is able to function as an admin despite this violation of policy -- which is particularly odd considering that Law/TU got banned and two well-regarded admins got desysopped for an identical situation.
Someone needs to put it up on Wiki (usually at
WP:SPI). I would prefer to keep official business on-wiki, and I think Lar feels the same way.
AdjustShift got RfA'ed as quickly and as smoothly as I've ever seen in recent times-- reminiscent of the Old Days. Partly due to his by-the-book answers to gallery questions. The 5 opposes (that's all there were) included Ottava, who I think was mainly just jealous.
That's how to become an admin. Keep head down, kill boars in the forest for Warcraft points, RfA early before anybody has any good gripes and vendettas against you (the Barrack Obama lesson). Study the handbook of Wiki-Hall-of-Mirrors well so you can have the Official Party Answers to the Official 3rd Degree Masonic Questions: "Gee I don't like the state of BLP; it really needs to be more reliable and verifiable..."

And there you are. Your Shift is now Adjusted. You contol the vertical. You control the horizontal. You're a player and a well-regarded contributor. Neener.
