Sockpuppeting is basically making another account, and using it to circle around bans and blocks, or in a more petty sense, support yourself, be it applauding your own arguments in discussions, or voting for something with the 2nd account to vote twice. Or more maliciously, harassing another user without anyone knowing who really was doing it.
