    New sockies

    (Hypothetically) How long before I give up on my new Sockies first post?

    Will the mod email me or my (hypothetical) sockie?

    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

          No, pissed again, which is why I (allegedly) considered (hypothetically) creating a sockie. Just to cheer myself up.

            We have discovered in the past that the moderators actually have lives of their own. This came as an immense shock to me; I would never have thought there were humans behind CUK, for some reason.

            There was one evening when Ferret posted to a very fast growing thread something to the effect of "You swines, why did you have to do this on my 5-a-side night?" That suggests there are hours at a time when there is nobody in attendance.

            Therefore, it can be hours before your hypothetical DirtyDrapes sockpuppet gets its first post moderated.

            Indeed, I have seen a newbies' first post appear up to about 30 hours after they actually wrote it.

            So WinkStainWindowDressing's first post may appear tonight. Or GoingBlind's first post may appear in the morning. Or SpunkPelmet's first post may appear tomorrow afternoon.

            Bust most likely it will just be banned.

              (Hypothetically)(Allegedly)(Without Prejudice) I understand. Dirty drapes was a close call.

                Good lad.

                Not pissed but thinking about it. Would reallly hate to let Zip go though.

                  That was the "TPD Holiday in General" thread

                  It was fun while it lasted...

                  Since then I've also borne in mind the fact that ferret isn't around at that time on a Thursday night during five-a-side season - not for any particular reason, but it's nice to know things about the system

                    Not quite as polite as you, RC:
