I've never understood the obsession some people have for creating sockpuppet ID's as they are rarely amusing to anyone other than the trolling owner.

This could get a little confusing...

Nah, Spartacus is the only one where we can actually say we know who all his puppets are

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

What, testing if an AI can pass as human? How does that apply to a human pretending to be a different human? Especially when some of the puppet-masters probably couldn't pass in the first place.

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?

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