Is it against Talk Guidelines to point out a sock puppet out loud on a thread?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Just wondering.

Who said I haven't been here long Val? Not me.

where is this sockpuppet? is it on the same thread I'm on?

wannabe it could be YOU. That's the thing about the sockpuppets, they're really sneaky.

Well I'm either pissed or fick...but what the jeff's going on? Is it a bunfight? Is it an off? Shall I hold someone's coatwanker?

well it could, but only I would know that. and tbh I can't even be arsed to namechange for sensitive threads so I certainly couldn't be bothered to do so for the purposes of sockpuppetry...

Mumsnet new person alert. What's a sockpuppet? Please forgive ignorance.

Can someone pm me when sock puppet is revealed.I'm going to bed and this thread is sure to get deleted.

I made a sock monkey today

Sorry Semtex, mistaken identidy

Apologies.

But lets lay off laying into individual posters, yeah?

Yes, what is a sockpuppet?

This is a hypathetical thread usual.

sockpuppet - when someone name changes and comes on to agree with themselves

if a thread is entirely consisted of sock puppets surely that would be ok?

Or you could report yourself?

a sockpuppet is someone who namechanges on their own thread.. so for instance:

Someone posts a thread saying "I gave birth to a baby last night and it had two heads and weighed 22 lb and I was up climbing a mountain this morning," and the rest of mumsnet all respond in a manner, until another poster (the op under a namechange) comes on and says "How dare you question the validity of my friend's post, I am her rl friend and I guarantee she is genuine and you are all bitches and you all deserve to burn in hell..."

No it's not Stealth you're an absolute idiot and deserve to have your broadband cut

In answer to the question in the OP, yes, it is.

No idea what the rest of the thread is about.

Perhaps someone could PM me?

Just looked it up. Thanks

Don't be so nasty. Stealth is lovely and she's definitely genuine. She posted me some cream for a horrible boil I had on my bottom. She had one too, in exactly the same place, you see.

WTAF happened there?

I have spent 3 minutes reading from top to bottom and have been

oh, I once saw a thread of which omtrent the first twenty posts consisted of sockpuppets.

let me see if I can find it. iirc the poster lost their ability to namechange as a result and was subsequently banned, but that's a whole other story...

and me...I mean her. Don't forget the new rules people.

Was just looking up sockpuppets and discovered there are also meatpuppets.
