I think we agree on some aspects. I agree there's a huge difference between having a sock army and having one sock.

The Yuletide policy, eh, it's true that some people sock up and they don't do anything about it. But since it is policy, if you can't even effectively hide your socks, you're failing at the first hurdle and can't be trusted to sign up twice IMHO. So it's more like "sock if you must but you'd better not let us know about it."

Exactly. I think of it as the same sort of thing as getting Al Capone convicted on charges of tax evasion. It wasn't the biggest of his crimes, but it was the one that could be easily proven in court. If your socks are well-behaved, Yuletide mods won't notice (or, if they notice, they won't care, based on anecdotal evidence of, uh, a friend). But if your socks do dodgy stuff that isn't explicitly against the rules otherwise or is hard to prove, they can ban you for socking.
