How are sock puppets checked?
How do admins know that someone is a sock puppet?I think IP checking is not a reliable way to do so because;
1.You can have identical IP with someone who was banned just by a coincidence. 2.The poster could be an another person using the same computer, for example in a school or in an internet caffee (by the way I am posting from a net caffee right now), or he or she could be a relative of the banned poster posting from the same computer. 3.Proxy servers can mask the IP. |

I've closed this thread. If we reveal how we check sock puppets, we will open ourselves to some of the more inventive and persistent banned members circumventing the methods.
Thanks for asking. Your concerns are noted and shared by the staff.
