In this thread we identify sock puppets, alter egos, etc

[gee_ess]

After a year or so on GC, I have yet to completely understand, ergo, be able to fully enjoy, the various altercations/discussions that come up between GCers who are currently posting as someone else, discussions that name GCers with a "history", GCers who have multiple personalities, etc.

So, for those of us who need the reference materials to fully enjoy GC, can we start our own GC Wikipedia-type thread?

You could post an explanatory entry or brief synopsis about a "famous" (Chuck Norris in recruitment) or "infamous" (Tom Earp of HPRL fame) GCer so that when those names are referenced in future threads, the newbies can fully appreciate the thread.




I'll start -


Chuck Norris - famous PNM who dominated recruitment with his powerful skills of persuasion and martial arts. Pledged tri delt.

Why do we really need to "out" the sock puppets. MOST of them are actually funny and bring CHEER and SARCASTIC WIT to GC. (This is something that has been missing for about two-three years now...)

This is not productive.

I don't have a sock puppet. But, I sure as hell won't out those who do...

It's nice to be missed.

Perhaps you could put these people on the [strike]case[/strike]cake.

She said nothing about outing them, but providing more like a definition of what the character is all about.

Or "who is this Tom Earp I keep hearing about?"

And do we want to keep a record of all the usernames that Tom and Blue Angel have used since being banned?

Exactly! I do not want anything ugly - heaven knows the actual threads involving these characters take care of that! I am simply saying that it is hard to appreciate the references that are made about these "people" without some background info.

The thread was titled, "In this thread we identify..." So, I ASSumed it meant outing them.

(Not directed at you Sensuret--) This thread is not going to end well if we keep mentioning those that we prefer to stay far away and in their happy place. I guess that is what has me all riled up.

Well, the two happiest rainbow ponies keep coming back regardless. But yeah, they'll have new screen names just so they can add to the joy in the this thread.

I would actually find it useful to have a thread listing username changes...be they innocent or cowardly banned sockpuppets. Some of you change your name frequently, and I'm starting to lose track of who's who.

As for the sockpuppets, and by that I really mean just new screennames of banned users who can't go away, that would be a helpful list. I think someone else here has been able to track spammers/trolls IP addresses, too?

I would assume that would have to be the administrator; I don't know that our IP addresses show up anywhere in our posts or anywhere else on the site, and I don't think moderators or super moderators have access to that info.

I agree. It's like looking into the mirror and calling "Bloody Mary" 3 times. Sometimes you might get lucky and she won't show up, and sometimes she'll show up in full force! lol.
