Thread: The Sockpuppet's Lounge

  1. #1

    The Sockpuppet's Lounge

    This looks like a good place to while away the hours posting under an anonymous pseudonym, i've landed on my feet here. I've been in the market for a place for some time now but i'm not wanting to commit any capital or reveal my assets. I'm gald to have found a pad with such a cosy, lounge-like feel to it; one down none up, tastefully upholstered with a 'Master's Lounge' close by complete with all the facilities i need. I'll take it.
    I am not a party robot.

    What are the entry rules? Do you have to paste the same lengthy post 1000 times? Are the seats made of gore tex, event or leather? Do the curtains have taped seams?

    Sockpuppet (Internet)
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    For Wikipedia's policy on sockpuppets, see Wikipedia:Sock puppetry.
    A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception. The term, a reference to the manipulation of a simple hand puppet made from a sock, originally referred to a false identity assumed by a member of an Internet community who spoke to, or about, themselves while pretending to be another person.[1] The term now includes other misleading uses of online identities, such as those created to praise, defend or support a person or organization,[2] or to circumvent a suspension or ban from a website. A significant difference between the use of a pseudonym[3] and the creation of a sockpuppet is that the sockpuppet poses as an independent third-party unaffiliated with the puppeteer. Many online communities attempt to block sockpuppets.
