    Default Eliminate sock puppets.

    If anyone posts using more than one account, eliminate their sock and their original account, then block their IP.

    It really isn't a problem. Maybe 3 people have multiple accounts that they use and I'm one of them (this is my mobile name).

    So in short, no.

    That makes no sense. And sock puppets are absolutely a problem. Half the trash posted is through sock pockets. There are several socks that pollute the main threads with garbage and then lock out half the forum. So its just spam.

    But they can't ban sock puppet accounts.

    If they did, then ignorant Righties couldn't ban virtually every active JPP poster while holding "echo chamber discussions" with themselves.

    Plus, the biggest offenders are buddies with two of the Mods, so they get to do what they like.
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    The inmates are running the asylum. What exactly are the rules for this forum? I never looked, because there didn't appear to be any. When you consider that there's like ONE person on the right who is respectable on these forums (cawacko), and the rest are trolls with sock puppets, it begs the question of why even post here.

    Or it begs the question why you stay

    You are conflating two things. Socks and thread banning

    Nobody is making you stay

    You could always accuse another poster of pedophilia and then you would be acquainted with the rules.

    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    Check the rules page, you'll find them. If you don't like how the site is run, use a different one.

    I look at your quotes from people, and remember one of my earliest discussions after joining, where Praisekek called me a lying c word. What a loser saying stuff like that to a newbie. Not too mention I'm a guy. That's when I learned how to ignore the assholes here.

    Socks aren't a problem. Somebody posting on a different name doesn't change their content. If you took their 3 namaes down to 1, they would be saing the same stuff.

    People with socks still have to obey threadban rules etc.

    As Billy said in this thread, the vast majority of people don't even use socks. Or have a very small amount.

    Any talk of spam or w/e is simply unfounded.

    What do you think a "sock puppet" is exactly?
