The idea is to prevent sophisticated sockpuppeting through tor. FT2
spoke of users who keep a clean account and a dirty account (good
hand, bad hand), and users who have multiple sockpuppets from tor. The
idea is that if an admin suspects sockpuppeting on a debate, they may
disable all tor editing for that page.
