I recently learned this term.. lol I'm new to this type of forum... I was being accused of being one... Besides have being banned what would the point in this be? Is it a no- lifer type of thing or do people just like going around on peoples posts and screaming wolf for fun?
Hi
especially when members get banned they can come back as socks.
some use that to "troll" other people, pretending to have someone agree with them, or ganging up where "two people" go after another (but are really the same person).
[I've been on a site where that's all some of the members did on there, just create "sock/puppet" accounts, joke with each other, and try to guess or "out" whose account was really who until everyone lost track. And yes, it caused problems when "new members" were ACCUSED of being the 'sock' of another user.
So on this forum, no multiple accounts are allowed at all. Overall it prevents from inviting this kind of confusion and drama. For some people, that's all they want to do is troll, bait and game other people for fun online.]
If you have questions about the forum, moderation, or rules, you may post under "feedback and announcements" or PM to any Moderator/Staff Member.
I will check if this question should be moved to feedback, since it involves the forum itself.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy USMB.
