Talking of which, has anyone seen MS of late?

Where's the middle finger smiley?

It is like the Loch Ness monster or the Yeti, there are rumours that it exists on the CUK forum, but nobody really has solid proof.

There have been reported sightings of sockies on their imaginary trips to America....

Bit like decent moderation.

Sorry, I'm not morbidly obese.

Yes, but you do have a small winky.

Oh hang on!

That is actually a troll.

A sockie is more an alter ego an existing poster will have for various purposes...

mostly they are used so they can start a thread to argue with themselves.

Or it's the only way they can have an intelligent discussion.

I go on lots of forums, some get hammered by bots, some get people trying to rip others off... but I have never heard any other forum use the phrase Sockie.

I assume it refers (when read in context) to someone posting up for the purpose of wasting other members time with fictitious threads?

If that is the case, how dull must the bench be that they are on?

It's sunny, you are out of contract - go celebrate.

I think most of the sockiemasters (yes, they're usually male) are actually in contract and wasting their client's time too

The majority of the members here are sockies.
