Here's something more thought-provoking (maybe). How could you prove a login is your sockpuppet? Some sort of knowledge of encryption techniques might be needed - you can't post in advance what your sockpuppets will do.

Ideas?

Third party PM's the puppet master with a question or piece of obscure information. Puppet master replies with answer / repeats back the information to third party using the puppet. Third party confirms ownership on public forum.

Not infalible as it relies on the puppet master wanting to take part and not colluding with another member.

I reckon there must be a formally provable way to do it... but I have no idea what it would be. It has to prevent a member using their puppets to pose as 3rd parties apart from anything else.

Does anyone have a background in this type of stuff - I guess it's some branch of logic/maths?

Jeez the youth of today. Have you heard of the Turing test?

I was thinking that the third party would be one of the Admins.
