Try swearing in the professional forums or something.
Is a week ban worth the knowledge?Comment

A tricky one.
Maybe bribery will work? Try bunging admin a tenth of a DA and maybe that will work?Comment

Then only time you will see a Mod identify a sockie as such is when they ban them.
Cojak usually saves a few up and does them all at once when they finally get on her nerves one time too many.
Admin will occasionally post to confirm that someone is *not* a sockie, but only under extenuating circumstances. Usually as a result of something posted in the professional forums."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
