Problem.
As Ariesdouche stated at one point, well douche doesnt deserve quotes but anyway...there's no way to find out if someone is a sockie. Well, maybe we can flame about this a little...
Why can't we have some kind of mutual agreement with an admin, to where maybe say... 5-10 people with a little status vote to NOT expose someone.... just their status if they are a sock or not? I don't think that would mess anything up really...

The official policy with sockpuppets is that they are left alone until they become a "problem". We determine when they reach that point.
I happen to personally disagree with this policy, as I think they should just be nuked without exception, but I follow the guidelines.
The criteria I generally use are:
Ratebots - if they are being used to bump up the master accounts karma, or downrate others, they are a problem, they are no-rated.
Abusive sockpuppets targetting a certian person - noposted and norated.
people using sockpuppes to support themselves in debates - I sometimes accidentally post hints as to who they belong to.
any sockpuppet made by anyone with less than 50 posts of their own in the first place, that I have verified to be sockpuppets - obliterated.

Heres a quote for you. "You're a ******* moron, a waste of DNA, the best part of you was thrown away when you were born." Now, GFY.
cause i really dont like that sockie right there kao.
Sockie, sure sure, what ever you say must be true. I'll bow before your almighty judgement. Wait, no I wont, **** off.
I am not sure why it matters, really. You two are both wastes of disk space.
And you're not? SWEET JESUS, you're the new messiah! I bet you can walk on water too eh? Wine to blood, and blood to wine, as well I hope. Finally some one to crown God of the Internet. The one person in existance that isn't a waste of disk space. Congratulations. Now, eat **** and die.
Kaolian your opinion is why at least one person that visits this forum thinks your a good guy at heart but you're also a butt wipe to boot in a little brother annoying kind of way. =P
<--- has made some successful sockies and some bad ones. Sees no harm no foul, and could truly careless what anyone else thinks. It's purely for the entertainment value and to see others get enraged and respond in kind. Not like I haven't been goaded into any type of response like that nuh uh. =P
Sockies have their place, their are posters that aren't sockies that are just as annoying as sockies: skeeter, smasharoo, uhm let's see skeeter, smasharoo and uh well you get the idea, oh yeah and katie.

I never said I wasn't. I was commenting on your relationship. It's simple, really. You couldn't construct a decent post if someone held a gun to your head.
For the record, I, along with everyone else here, is a complete waste of disk. However, in a million years, when they dig up Alla's basement, future generations will read my posts, compare them to yours, and wonder if you took the honorable path, or if you subjected the world to years and years of that which is you.
Moeb, that was pretty Denis ******* Leary of you.
Bravo.

Yes yes, because you **** gold, **** Cristal, and pull pearls from your nose. The best part of this is Smash, Gbaji, and Dracoid eclipse you everyday.

Subjective. Hitler thought it honorable to purge the world of a sect and a race.

Yes, and then they will wonder if the great pseudo-intellect that is Moebius ever did anything more worthwhile with his pathetic existance. Or if he died over his keyboard typing out some half-*** diatribe on anothers thoughts and behaviors. Boy you are the bitter end aren't you?

Stok, you see "no harm, no foul". I've seen it almost kill this forum twice. Remember Cuda, a_orc_pawn_01, ominus trusk? their arrival signaled the first exodus of people from the board. In pm's and e-mails, when I asked people why they left, the answer almost always included "and there were just too many sock puppets around".
Then there was the god/allah/jesus/bhudda/burnsey/kilgore trout/all of thundras other sockpuppet. It got so bad that we had a record number of people leave.
Some people think it is harmless. a few people think it is funny, most people get annoyed by it.
the sentiment there is mutual. I like hearing about how your coffee venture is going, and you usually add alot to the threads you post in,except for when you break out the puppets.
Sure there may be some people here that could be considered annoying, but at least they take responsability for what they say.

Hello all, nice to see everything is still going the same.
You can please most of the people all of the time, but you can't please all of the people anytime. Keep on trying though. Don't get me wrong there are annoying sock puppets around and I created a few. But you also have to admit some puppets have been helpful in keeping the forum moving during slow periods.
But(t) this is not entertaining so I'll move onto something else.
BTW I take responsibility for what I say, it's when those voices in my head take over, that I can't control what is said by any puppets if I had any.

Only a matter of time till Godwin raised his head.

(a) The "BUSH IS TEH BEST KERRY IS A COMMIE PUS[i][/i]SY!!!11" types. But you already hold sacred the same retarded opinions as those puppets so you may as well post as yourself there
(b) The "I'm an FFXI player moran!" type which gets responses from about the same three people.
Rather than socks making things interesting, most of the time it's a matter of the only posts on the board are by socks because everyone is mentally jerking off and calling themselves clever because someone responded to their "I'm an FFXI player and think Kerry hates America!" post.

Are these any different than the hordes of "BUSH IS TEH SUCK AND KERRY IS W1NNEST!!11" idiots?
Call it any political sock-puppet, though the vast majority of them are Pubbie ones. Really, there's little need to make a pro-Kerry puppet; you might get a response from Totem, Gbaji.. and maybe Stok and Moe on a good day. Pro-Bush puppets have a much larger audience to reach out to.
