obvious sock-puppets are immediately deleted and banned.

Who will protest against MMM's demise? Any takers?

[TimberWolf]

Who?

[d000hg]

He was banned, we still don't know why other than his opinions were too different.

The approval process is a bit quicker now. Spammers and obvious sock-puppets are immediately deleted and banned.

Christ on a bike. Wish I'd never asked.

I don't care that much.

I'm interested to note how quickly his first 10 posts have been approved by the mods. When I first joined, it took them hours to approve each of my first 10 posts. I smell a conspiracy!

What? What's all this approval of posts bollocks? I've never had any of mine approved, obviously...

[Spacecadet]

Surely this kind of abuse is not allowed, is this how all newbies are treated? How do I complain about this?

Email the mods... they'll need to see your ticket before they can proceed with the complaint

For the record all of these sockies are nothing to do with me.

I notice that you Nick have been rather quiet on the subject, which by a process known as tabloid journalism makes you the sockie master!

It would rather make sense for Nick to have a sockie or to, as an outlet for being so damn reasonable all the time

If the Chrimbo hat fits.

At the end of the day, you've been on all day and when Kandr is posting. You aint!

Members of the jury. I put it to you that RichardCranium has not heeded the advice of the board Administration and continues to find it amusing to create 'sockies' to insult other posters. I put it to you that RichardCranium revels in his notorious reputation as a 'causer of trouble', 'a rabble rouser', 'a sockpupper master'. I offer no reason for this, no logical reason that you or I would see as a reason to 'bring to it's knees' a wonderful institution such as CUK. Perhaps, one day he will share that reason, but the proof is damning. I put it to you, the jury that RichardCranium is an 'agent provacateur', 'an internet terrorist', 'a recruitment agent in disguise'.

There is only one recourse that can be agreed upon. Only one decision you can reach. Guilty! Guilty as charged!

Hanging is too good...

Ha ha bloody ha.

I'm inclined to agree with SuitYou01 that whoever is doing it would be unwelcome at any RLM I was at.

Mind you, I like the 'Internet terrorist' bit.

[MarillionFan]

WTF are you on about?

Edit: Hang on - are you accusing me of being kandr et al? Bog off!

IIRC admin reduced it to something like three or four posts, mainly because the usual suspects were whining about having to actually put some effort into activating their sockpuppets.

I personally found it was outrageous that my backup account had to be approved making first post ... this is not inclusive at all!

Read the FFAQ?

[OwlHoot]

So Richard has been found out by the Admins to have created sockies in the past? Yet he heaps so much abuse on me, without any proof? That is seriously hypocritical.

Oh God, not another markmm/kandr/AndyW incarnation.

It's like zombies in some horror film - No sooner have you whacked one on the head with a shovel than another lurches into view.

[RichardCranium]

It is looking like you may blow out here RC. I'd imagine the second you flounce a whole new bunch of 'RC sockies' will appear. Remember. You did promise Admin not to do anymore though.

WTF are you on about?
