Just seen a thread’s been pulled due to this. I thought it had been made physically impossible to post under more than one username on a given thread? Is the term ‘sockpuppeting’ also used on here to describe when someone gets their mates to post in support of them, or something? Puzzled… 🤔

Hi @thepastinsidethepresent

Thanks for asking about this. As others have said, while you can no longer post under different usernames on the same thread, very dedicated trolls will keep trying to find ways around our blocks. So if you suspect that someone is sock puppeting, please hit the report button so we can take a look behind the scenes. We won't go into detail about the ways we can spot if someone's a PBP, but rest assured we'll take action if we can see that someone's up to no good.
