What does WP do about sock puppets?? Are they allowed at all?? what is done to identify them?? I've had my suspicions about some usernames here and I was just curious.

sock puppets aren't allowed. admins may ban a user for having a sock puppet. but none of us have created any sock puppets, right werbert?

Ummm... forgive me my naiveté, but what if the sock puppet is, like, really nice, and offers great advice to other users, and is generally a boon to the forum?

Or... what if it belongs to someone suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder and it's therapeutic to them?

:roll:

Yeah, what if a certain poster has referred to himself in the third person so many times a second personality has actually formed in his brain. What if one account isn't big enough for both of them?
