so, i read what you are saying, correctly.

You say that,
because sockpuppets were not anticipated to be such a problem,
and because the devteam decided to deny them access to this project on a date later than the announcement
then socks should be accepted, because they were accepted in the beginning.

is this correct?
do you need to correct my statement anywhere, to reflect better what you are saying?
Let me repeat it, for the record, with less words. Please corret me if i am wrong somewhere.

Because socks where not stopped on day 1, they should be accepted.
If socks are not acepted, then the devteam is not fair.

Do the above two lines reflect your issue, or do you need to correct it?
