Sockpuppet
  • A term to define an alternative account on a forum, normally made by a regular poster. Sockpuppets are normally used to stir trouble, make fake posts that will anger people, and by people to say things without worrying about their reputation being tarnished on their main account name
  • .

    Examples would be like the account "Godhatesfags", which most people would probably agree was probably made by a regular here.

    A secondary term for Sockpuppets, though, is that they are usernames that someone will rate up so that they have rating priviledges, and then use them to mass rate down people. More than once at that.

    Explanation enough?

    I'd like everyone who reads this to read my above response when he had claimed I had a sockpuppet.

    Gotcha.

    Anyway, back to the subject at hand (and my question in the previous post)... and, sorry to take it off-topic like that but I kept picturing Sherry Lewis and Lambchop. XD

    Woot, one other person. You got the vast majority going there.

    I'm going to not reply to this topic again unless it has to do with the conversation. I know I said that earlier, but I don't feel it's right for me to continue to make it more OT.
