I openly admit I am not all that Hip with Modern Internet Slang so I am in the dark on what this one is. I have seen members here get in trouble and even Permabanned for it..aka That Thorne guy and i am not seeing any thing stated in the Official KMC Rules about foot wear so I will just out right ask.

What is a "SOCK"?

Surtur
Yeah the Thorne guy did get banned for a sock. But then, Steve Zodiac is a sock and hasn't been banned.

Weird.

As for what it is, someone who is banned, but re-registers under a different name.

Now I personally do not give a shit about socks. But it occurs to me that certain socks can stay and certain socks can't. That to me is weird.

Like Thorne didn't say anything nearly as crazy as Jake who threatened murder multiple times before getting banned.

Bashar Teg
awww are the babies playing victim again?

Flyattractor
Awwww You upset cause you thought this was a thread talkin bout your fav sex partner!?

And 10-Q 2 Surt for an actual answer.

Surtur
Nah, it's more just curiosity about the way things work here Bash.

Flyattractor
Oh I "KNOW HOW THINGS WORK HERE" just not fully op on the Lingo.

It changes to darn often for my opinion...

Surtur
You know Leonardo Dicaprio said we shouldn't have a president who doesn't believe in science.

That is hilarious though lol. It's like a cult. "Scientism". Do you think they realize science isn't about mere belief? I wonder.

Some leftists love science so much they lose all comprehension as to how it works. That is true love.

Flyattractor
Ben Shapiro put it best.

Surtur
Yeah, but Ben is Hitler though. Like legit, Thule society type shit. Whenever he sees a baby that doesn't have blue eyes and blonde hair he secretly just wants to toss it into a wood chipper.

Flyattractor
That is just the Leftist Progressive in you talking.

Surtur
He'd probably even eat a baby. Even if there was a non-baby sandwich available, he'd say no, I want to eat that baby.

Sick and twisted. Even worse than this fiendish deed:

A sock is a banned user who creates a new account to get past his ban.

I think the way these people are viewed tends to vary a bit from mod to mod. For myself, I'm generally open to the idea of a sock coming back if they make attempts to engage other members in a reasonable way and try to take part in relatively respectful conversations. They will be on thin ice, though. If they come back merely to make trouble, that isn't acceptable and is a way to find yourself banned very quickly if you are a sock.

There's also the fact that the sock checker for this site is ancient and inefficient, and so it can be difficult to really "prove" if someone is a sock. Generally, the mods have been around long enough to be able to tell if someone is a sock simply by posting habits and personality, but we may not be able to prove it with the sock checker.

I think there's more leniency towards socks than there used to be. The site doesn't have a very large or healthy user base anymore, so I think we're pretty open to the idea of giving people second chances.

Flyattractor
So when did we stop calling them ALTS and started calling them SOCKS?

Why all with the Hip and Trendy all of a Sudden?!

BackFire
They've always been known as Socks on this site.

Flyattractor
I will take your word for it.

SO what level of SOCK would you categorize the Villainous Thorne?

Ankle? KneeHigh? Tube?

BackFire
Tube. Hate those things.

Flyattractor
I agree. Hate wearing those things. I prefer Hillbilly Barefoot All the Way!!!!!!!

So how many SOCKS did Thorne have in his Tube?

BackFire
I'm not sure. He was a sock of Long Pig, and I don't know who that is.

Flyattractor
Having known Throne for several years and quite aware of his Multiple Personality Induced Schizophrenia I would think He had a whole drawer full of em.

BackFire
Well, socks usually do it many times. Apparently, it's pretty addicting.

Flyattractor
The Perfect scent for Socks!

Lol look I don't want him banned, but what you just said here is pretty much a lie lol. A certain sock has come back just to talk shit about me, made more than one topic dedicated to that, etc.

I do not want him banned, but the whole "well as long as they try to engage members in a reasonable way" is nonsense. The most recently banned sock was no less reasonable than the one I am referring to lol.

A piece of clothing used to keep feet warm, usually coming in pairs... This is common knowledge.

Thorne did that,or are you talking about someone else?

No. That is the answer to "What Are Socks?" The plural as opposed to the singular.

I would explain the difference but well that is Math and Leftists don't do math.


cool

Steve Zodiac is stop the hate lol. Who had 3 different verisons of that named, trolled constantly. Was banned for continually posting trolling topics. Has also posted topics dedicated to writing poems about me lol.

He can do what he wants, but we're going to call a spade a spade here. That isn't "reasonable" behavior lol.

Steve Zodiac has been on our radar for a while and we are keeping an eye on him, thing is while he may go after you from time to time, he does also engage in discussions as well. There is another member here who is a sock who has gone after other members but is also not yet banned. Also you go after him as well. It seems to be a mutual thing with you two so I've just sorta let it slide thus far.

Also keep in mind that I did not ban Thorne myself. Like I said, all mods will approach things a little differently. Another mod may not hold my views when it comes to socks and may be less lenient when it comes to letting them stay.

The Lost
To add to what Backfire said, I posted this in the welcome thread recently:

Originally posted by The Lost
I think it depends on the recency of the permaban now. For example, I was permabanned in '05 but they let me stick around now, as well as a few others. That person was either banned a long time ago but is still totally intolerable or was banned recently.

BackFire
For me, honestly I don't really care. I'll let more or less anyone back as long as they don't just troll non stop. Even then, if they amuse me I may let them stay.

It feels like a wasted effort to really moderate this place these days.

Lol, three separate "stop the hate things" were banned. Now he goes after Sable for thread counts, posting pics of it.

Sorry, it's just not really reasonable. Not every sock here engages in that.

I don't want him banned he is entertaining, but he is a troll lol. Through and through,

you shouldn't have to care, it's just a forum thumb up

raz and ush stopped caring about this place a long time ago so why should you or any mod? some members care way too much about this forum. i am here out of habit, it's kinda like smoking...

Yeah but it's like....people who threaten murder exist here longer than people who did nothing close to that.

That is super weird having that drastic a difference in modding practices, but meh.

I don't believe I banned those people.

I will ban people for posting various slurs. May have done that at some point over the last month or two. Don't remember.

I'm not familiar with the sable/steve zodiac thing you're going on about. I don't really pay much attention to Steve Zodiac. Really, unless something gets reported I probably won't see it or know about it/care.

Okay well this just makes it even weirder lol. Some other mod noticed the shit STH pulled, but suddenly with Steve didn't.

Meh, an interesting mystery I guess.

Silent Master
Just stop responding to him. that way if he continues it'll be viewed as him harassing a member, rather than a back and forth.

BackFire
Mods can and so miss some things. We do this in our spare time and for free, remember. We generally don't spend much time here these days. Unless something gets reported we probably aren't going to see it.

Ignore them too, when they continue to follow you around making comments. it'll just make them look like stalkers.

Lol they already do that. They have created haikus about me, poems about me, edited pictures about me, they constantly bring up things about my life lol.

But it's not deeply sad because they high five each other over it. I take it in stride, but like I said I find it weird to call these folk reasonable. They aren't. I'll be satisfied with merely giving proper labels to things.

Silent Master
Yes, but you respond to them and thus create a back and forth. if you just completely ignored them, their actions would fall directly on them as they would no longer have your responses to use as deflection material.

Sable
I told him to just put them on ignore.

The Nuul
surt, why would you even post about your life or pic on here? smh

Oh you misunderstand. I didn't post a picture of me. They edited stuff about me. Steve Zodiacs sig has a pic.

It's not like I gave my life story, but I sure did learn a lesson I will give you that. Sad folk here latch on, but then again that is what sad folk do.

Lol see this is the difference between you and me. I can have a convo with someone without being a b*tch about it. Even if I had disagreements on other things. But you see it as trying to befriend you.

If you say something I want to comment on, I won't be a chump and act pissy just because of past disagreements.

I'm pointing out your behavior. This would mean whenever you or your pals have pointed out my behavior you were playing the victim.

Will you acknowledge that? It cannot be both ways. Either we both have played the victim or neither of us has. I will allow you to choose.

A person banned for speaking the truth would technically be a victim, but it'd be funny, the hypocrisy and all.

equating your niche opinions to "the truth" and berating anyone who disagrees is kinda why you're regarded as a joke here.

Not opinion, I just quoted a post and gave you a link to the other. Are you going to grow a sack and acknowledge the hypocrisy here? Now is your chance. How can you call out president Trump for stuff if you lack the balls to call out a mere moderator online?
