Perhaps 1,425 Posted February 12, 2021 Imagine being a grown ass adult creating sock puppet accounts on an online forum in the year 2021. An act that should’ve died in 2007. Isn’t that Charles de goole boy a known sock? Or are sock accounts allowed if they’re not destructive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 12, 2021 Most Ironic Post, 2021. Start with the Admin alt accounts, come correct with clean hands, then you can bitch, 'Achelous'. I'd be more interested in cleaning up this site by deleting unused accounts with zero posts. Say those two years old or older? You'd lose 45% of your membership though, and that isn't good optics.

Ulitzer95 12,703 Posted February 12, 2021 I don’t have one but always been tempted to set up a comedy style one like Mugabe, but I’m way too lazy to be bothered with all the signing in and out between each account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,239 Posted February 12, 2021 In the past I thought of a sock puppet account that is literally just called Sock Puppet (with a sock puppet too) to troll with known banned members/sock puppet accounts but I can’t be bothered to switch between accounts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be the person who forgets to switch accounts and posts a DDP update under the sock account. Although "msc" is technically my second account! (Dull story, posted 5 or 6 times at uni in 2007-9 then lost access, so I started a new account so I could join forum games.Admin have since helpfully deleted posts that revealed too much identity to passing friends who dissaprove! Mrs msc posted once too but iirc as a guest!) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,749 Posted February 12, 2021 I can barely be bothered to keep up with this account on a regular basis, let alone setting up other accounts just to cause trouble. As for this: 3 hours ago, Sir Creep said: I'd be more interested in cleaning up this site by deleting unused accounts with zero posts. Say those two years old or older? You'd lose 45% of your membership though, and that isn't good optics. I've absolutely no idea how many members this site has, but I'd be surprised if more than 100 contribute very often, with a core of 20-30 who are the mainstay. Either way, the concept drew me to the site, not the fanbase. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j0neseur0 118 Posted February 12, 2021 I had a 14 year gap almost of not posting at all, but was still reading the forum frequently. As in I'd have been sad if my account had been deleted due to inactivity. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,904 Posted February 12, 2021 None here, though I suspect that prior to our split in 2009 my ex may have posted under this account a couple of times because there are some posts which just don't sound like me at all. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes you come out and say things that are just, well, 'fucking hell' moments. You are one of the best posters on here by a bloody mile. Keep up the good work Handy.

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,221 Posted February 12, 2021 Oh, and PB, just do a roll call of all the sock accounts and who is behind them. No point fucking about, it isn't like they are entitled to some sort of protection, is it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clorox Bleachman 2,461 Posted February 12, 2021 Nope. msc thought I was a sock when I first joined, but he'll tell you I'm a human being and not a piece of cotton with googly eyes if you interrogate him... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the record I don't think my ex wrote anything nasty ,anything like that will be from me. There are just a few things here and there which are unlikely to be from me, the Johnny Halliday thread for instance or some things in the Deathlist kitchen thread. Being out of lockdown is all well and good but as my family all live across and I can't see them yet I am not celebrating just yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,235 Posted February 13, 2021 I used to be Banshees Scream and Tempus Fugit. My current sock puppet account is Paul Bearer, but when I'm in character I don't recognise the Windsor account as a sock puppet account to the other one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
