Identity problem

Originally posted by Devil King
First of all, in regards to the overwhelming sock mania that goes on here these days, it is practically a paranoia. So that only serves to vindicate the socking members. They get banned, take it personally, and return over and over again in order to destroy the forums and incite frenzy. In this respect the trolling socks have won.

Secondly, the many long time members are rarely wrong when they identify a new member that is a sock. It's no one thing that gives it away. Sometimes it's the personality of the new member, sometimes it's the fact that a completely new member arrives on the boards and exhibits animosity towards certain members or subjects.

When a brand new member arrives and sets in to immeadiately post in threads with the same personality and anger over the thread's topic, it's clear that they aren't a brand new member. Having the same opinion as a banned member isn't indicative of being a sock, but expressing those same opinions in exactly the same manner is.

Thats isn't my experience it is actually quiet the opposite. My first day I said I was a dane and BAM I was jugde, because of my being a Dane making a thread (Galactus Vs Celestials) that was enough to make me Judge and only that two things, haven't even written anything.

Sometimes member joins just to ask a question I did as also memtioned above.

Thanks, it also stopped pretty quickly but the fact remain that a very lange procentage of the member believed I was Judge because of me joining and making a thread and answearing a question about my nationality.

You probably doesn't I spend most of my time in the Comic vs forum and some time in the history forum but that is mainly reading.

like it or not, most (and i mean MOST) sock trolls come from the versus forum. if people notice a pattern they will say something. so once in a while they are wrong. most of the time they are right. keep in mind i dont refer to you since i really dont know this 'judge' clown to begin with, so i have no idea. i know its not fair that people are suspicious, but life's not fair. just be thankful you've only been wrongly accused of something so trivial as opposed to murder/rape/theft/etc.

:edit: best way to wash off suspicion is to avoid the topic. sock trolls enjoy fighting in just the same manner. "prove im not a sock", "sock checker cleared me" etc. just avoid it. if anyone pisses you off to where you cant then either PM them or ignore them. its all i can suggest. but dont complain about it not being fair because...nobody cares.

Because banned members have never created sock accounts with new IP addresses. 🙄

Yes but the problem is using that logic I could accuse anyone of being a sock.

Actually you couldn't because you'd also need to say who they were a sock of.

You could pick any banned member you wanted to.

There is a difference in being suspicious and making dozens of public accusations in a hostile manner. Which is what I experienced my first day registered here.

It makes me think some of these people are total jerks. It's hard for me to fathom why any rational person would think such behavior is justified, let alone prudent. I didn't even know what the hell a "sock" was supposed to mean so I had to go to freaking urban dictionary and look it up.

Actually you couldn't as behaviours are often looked at.Whirly likes the GDF and OTF and likes fake persona's.You on the other hand make a certain style of sig that is highly identifiable.

Same exact style of sig Eclipso made too. 😉

*jazz hands*

But yeah, drama aside...I'm right.

like i said, the more you press the issue the more suspicious people become. this is because of the apparent trend where people who really arent sock trolls just want everyone to stfu about it, while actual sock trolls have to keep combatting and arguing the point ad nauseum. people have a short attention span here, so you can either feed it or just chill out and deal with it. there is an 'ignore' function at KMC, as well as private messenging, or if you cant deal with either you can always use the 'report' function.

Actually no I don't and there are many people on here that use my sig style I know because I use their work as a basis for mine.

The point is, in the past calling someone guilty based on nothing but half guesses and circumstantial evidence has had allot of consequences. And what if you were the wrongfully accused and no matter what you said no one believed you?

Sometimes it seems like that is the crime commited for trolling sock ore things of that nature.

It is two sided if I choose to stay on the topic to prove my innocence then "hey it is him" but if I stay off that topic you can be sure that the members who believes me to be another person will follow me anywhere I go in that entire section, because they have some weird and twisted idea that because I am leaving is because they are right about there suspecion so what do you do then ... do nothing you are judged and do something you are still judged.
