i'd love to know some honest answers to this question, i'm sure i can name a few people who do indeed have sock puppets as i do go over to the politics section from time to time, and i cuold probably count 10 there easy, and then you just have the other people..
i honestly only have one, well, and my locked out racerboy account when the site was brought back up, but i don't think that's a very good sock puppet account..
Ok. When i first signed up here i wasn't familiar with forum etiquette, so when i saw the ghread 'my £30 homemade scrog screen' in which curiousuk demonstrated how to spend way too much money on bamboo and wire mesh to make a fucking ugly and useless screen i posted a picture of mine and listed the materials which came to the cost of a ball of string, as i had everything else around.
He got really pissed. Decided my name should be Gowank, which is really, really witty. He laid into me in the thread, by pm, in my own thread about a flickering light... in fact he declared his wish for my grow room to burn down and take me with it. Not smart.
Bicuriousuk was born. I used the profile picture from his facebook account (yes, linked on his riu profile page, the dumfuk) and started appearing in every thread he posted in being very smarmy and sexually predatory. I declared my name as Anthony Alvarez (guess i'm still not over it...) and generally made an nuicance of myself.
Got a polite pm from Sunni explaining that multiple accounts were not allowed.
Curiousuck was next. Kept him in case dickwad bothered me again. Only made one post, then got banned as it was a thread about puppets and i announced his existance.
I woke up feeling literary one day and re-wrote the punch and judy puppet show from Mr. Punch's point of view. I remained very true to the traditional victorian story, which was apparently sick enough to attract complaints, and Mr Punch was promptly banned. Now i'll be using his name if i am lucky enough to bet a seat on Clayton's field trip bus again, he worked out ok on the last one.
Right now? No puppets. I have all the mods in my pocket, so they do my dirty work! :/
