As a mod I can answer the last part of your question: If it looks like a not, smells like a not, acts like a bit, guess what it is?; A duck.
And ducks get banned.
Just to clarify: Only the ones trying to pass as human. Utility bots (and ducks) are OK providing they are marked as such. Creating sockpuppet accounts for later use is not.

Far too few utility ducks around here; marked or not!
