Sockpuppets

Eddie, when will this be in effect from?

From my mailbox,

I might have forgotten some of mine. Could you tell me the ones that you can see are?

Read the thread. We can't provide that service.

Alright, but can you tell me how many I do have?

Read it, dude. No.

...so I don't think he'll exactly tell us if we're overloaded or not.

Well, shit.

So people are just going to be banned without warning even if they try to comply?

Uh, really? Well, if I may get an answer to something else, then:

The list of sockpuppets I was given included two or three other tropers and their sockpuppets. In order to delete them, do I have to decapitate them or can I just shoot them?

Could I please get a check?

If deleted accounts are included in that and my own list isn't missing any, I reckon I'm somewhere around a dozen.

Oh wait but then he did tell Metalhead...

Is there anyway to delete sockpuppets that I've forgotten the password to? Because it turns out that I have a fair amount from old joking threads that I never bothered to remember the password for.

Myr, this is why I have only one really secure password.

Puppet-checker picks up only four of yours, Catfish. Presumably there are others.

Personally, I'm rather worried about having used the Kanye and Kanye West sockpuppets in the past.

Joining the "how many do I have?" bandwagon here.

Thanks Bobby.

Alright, that's all that I've actually posted with then ...I think.

Bobby, could you check mine and maybe PM the list please? I'm gonna start deletions but I wanna make sure I didn't forget any.

@ evilneko: 12 on the puppet-checker.

@ CA: 20 on the puppet-checker.

I have no idea how many I have.

I deleted the four I could think of off the top of my head, but there are four more (older members can guess which ones) that I deliberately changed the password to garbled nonsense to prevent anyone from accessing them. Meaning I can't get into any of those accounts.

I also don't know if I have any more joke sockpuppets or not.

Thanks Bobby. ^_^

Can I get a number?

I deleted The Dazed Sinister (sockpuppet), Ubiclex Calculus (failed name change), Spain Sun at The Library (alt account for when the library's computers wonk out, as they sometimes do), and A Drug Sanwich (joke account)

edit: Just deleted Umbrela The Scarlet (failed name change).

12? O.o

Ho boy. I don't remember having that many at all.

^ I knew you had too many! And you said I was going crazy!

I've deleted three so now I have 9. Problem is, I could only list 9 accounts, including the three I just deleted. I have no idea what the remainder are, which leaves me stuck unless I want to delete one I'm actually using in the thread. Wait, just remembered another one. Hmm, I'll go delete that one too.

Spain, our puppet finder is showing an IP overlap between you and Landstander. And it shows all the names that have posted from the set of IPs you've used, not which handles are active. I've PM'd you a list. It will still include the ones you've cut, and may include some that aren't you.

I ended up deleting all of mine but 5 (including this one). I never used the others anyway; I just have to train myself to stop creating sockpuppets impulsively.

With Landy? O_o

I thought she lived in like...Minnesota.

Well...yeah, I guess you can send it anyway. Am I going to be banned?

IP allocation can be strange. My IP geolocates to anywhere from Seattle to Salem at times.

I also share an IP with wanna and Beatles, though the latter's not really surprising. He lives right down the road from me.

This is hopeless, only two of the other things on this list are mine and I don't know the password to either.
