Sock puppeting.

Can I ask how MNHQ are going to deal with this, given that technology now means that it is perfectly possible to post simultaneously, from 2 different devices, showing 2 different IP addresses?

Is it going to be ignored? Or do you have plans afoot to deal with this?

Pinot I would have answered your post earlier only Mother arrived with soup so I had to hide you and your smut very quickly, - which by the way was exactly what DH suggested.

I am now waiting by my inbox.

Hey! Don't you people start about numbers again!

I would be just Tee but some fucker one took it 100 years ago and HQ won't let me have it.

Also, I use this name everywhere!

SoupDragon · 01/11/2012 14:11

Hide poster would fix all this.

No it wouldn't.

Tee doesn't have a shed, it's a garden office.

SuePurblybilt · 01/11/2012 15:48

I asked the mice and they said shed. Plus there's a lawnmower in here.

Tee2072 · 01/11/2012 16:18

Yes. In my garage is my lawn mower. That I never use because I have a lawn guy.

And we did have mice last year as well. Now we have traps. So you must be speaking to the mice ghosts...

SuePurblybilt · 01/11/2012 16:22

I see Dead Rodents.

And you think that solves it? Hmm

OhDeerHauntingFENTON · 01/11/2012 17:20

No it wouldn't solve it but it would cut out the pondering bit which is irritating, - knowing that you recognise someone and can't be sure.

LadyBeagle · 01/11/2012 18:31

Pm me too Pinot or Maryz, if you can.
It was horrible seeing Stratters so upset last night.

BustersOfDoom · 01/11/2012 20:56

I should apologise for my posts last night. I had not seen the thread referred to until this evening and had no idea how upset Stratters was, with very good reason. I am so sorry if my posts about IP addresses and how to identify trolls etc came across badly, it was not my intention at all. There was obviously more going on than I realised. Sorry if I upset anyone.

I haven't seen the thread, wasn't even aware there was a specific thread.

There are ways Mary, but it isn't easy.

Sorry to hear Stratters was so upset.

BustersOfDoom · 01/11/2012 21:07

Thanks Maryz

OK, simple words: Since when does hiding something solve anything? The whole point about sock puppets is that they are separate and multiple logins.

There. Get it?
