That would still be "Is the use of socks outlawed here," but ~ same point.

Socks are like brig rats.  The best fighters, the most voracious,  the most independently minded. Not socking up means EVERY one of your posts is tainted by a fear or the man, fear of consequences,  fear of disapproval. If everyone socked up, Mittys like Aussie wouldn't be able to pervert 'freedom of speech' for their own twisted little ends. Unfortunately there are just too many good little conformists on OP.

no

Good to see that FD is looking out for women's rights again .... why shouldn't Maria use socks  :D :D

Sweet 8-)

It would seem to me, there are a few basic reasons for Socks & mainly those reasons involve avoiding rules, which is most likely the prime reasons that most forums have a rule against the use of Socks!

Such a rule, is as follows, from another forum  -
"Also there will be no sock puppets (A person using more than one account to post). You will get ONE warning, if caught using a sock puppet."

Cheers!

There is a Rule here.  See the very clear Rule at Post # 4.

Cheers.

Further, the other Rule, perceptions_now (seeing as though you may be unaware of it,) is that a sock may not be used to circumvent a ban, and if one is so used, the period of ban is lengthened.

Cheers.

Not quite the same.

Why did you leave this bit out?

The swearing and porn clauses need to be removed, make it happen , cheers mate.

Socks are not banned.
Using socks to circumvent a ban IS against the rules and will result in your suspension lengthening considerably.

Otherwise if you want to run 15 usernames, then you can. Lord knows why, but you can.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with socks. Some people have more than one or three and are often seen conversing with each other.  ;)

The socks that are annoying are those who ... although they have been registered for MANY years, suddenly appear to back up a certain poster's "argument" having been AWOL for MANY years. Those socks are suss .... and we do notice.  ;)
