Is there any point actually banning them?

I find the initial 'look, I'm a real person' posts on the other forums more annoying than the mince they eventually spout when they start in general.

Sockies are like weeds - you can't beat 'em, but you can control them with really dull posters like doughtsomething - the hope is that sockie master will be put off and do something more useful in his life.
