Sock Puppets Get Banned

We’ve got several newbies – happens every election season – so it’s time for a reminder: Sock puppets get banned.

You get one screen name. Use a second one and you’re banned. If your comments don’t appear and you’ve engaged in sock puppetry, that’s why. “Landlith Lou/Johnny,” this is your only warning. “Kevis Greene/Jean/Claymonster,” buh-bye.

FWIW, we seem to be getting a lot of pro-Meyer sock puppets. Not a good look for your candidate, fellas.

    In some people’s maybe defense, I kept forgetting which semi-anonymous handle I was using. Which is why I’ve now just defaulted to be one of the fifteen different “anon”s.

      Sock puppetry is especially frowned upon when one name seconds the opinion of another name and they’re actually the same person.

      Changing a handle is OK, and it’s fine if the old name stops appearing.
