Dear Admins
Edited on Wed Oct-13-10 02:41 PM by Haole Girl
How often do you check for sock puppets? I have suspected, after each TSing, when someone with a very, very low post count begins posting similar posts - similar subject matter, same times of the day & same days of the week - that they are often a sock puppet.

Just curious.

Edit: For Spelling.

1. We check every day.
But we don't check everyone. We only check to see if someone might be a sockpuppet if we have reason to believe they might be.

2. Ok
Hopefully, I am wrong about one particular "spammer" in the Lounge.

It is rather interesting, that one person I am thinking of seems to have the same exact posting patterns (non-stop, it seems, except for Sunday afternoons)... just like a former DUer. Maybe it's just an odd coincidence.

Anyway, thank you for your answer.

3. Click "Alert" on one of their posts...
...and tell your concerns to the moderators. If they believe the concern has merit, they will look into it.

4. Thanks
Already sent an email to an Admin (don't remember which of you, sorry). Mainly, because the poster is so annoying (in an incessant, requires a need-to-log-in-just-to-see-page-two, way). Possibly, that DUer checked out (as NOT being a sock puppet), at that time, I don't know.
