    Sockie engineering

    So, at least two independent IP addresses (you've tapped into the neighbour's unsecured WiFi), created accounts and gotten past the first few posts being moderated. Lurk for a bit while posting on another account, have a dictionary and thesaurus on the desk to help with writing styles (not that it seems to help).

    So why? In case one account gets banned you can switch to another? Indulge your alter ego for a bit for whatever means? To entertain (fail).

    Can't see that it's worth the effort.
    Me, me, me...

      Was hoping for some tips from someone so obsessed with this forum.

        Encrypted proxy. Something like 'hidemyass' is a favourite of RC's I believe. Tell me I'm wrong RC.

          I was under the impression - according to comments from others - the IP spoofing sites own IP addresses were blocked a long time ago.

          Some fora will automatically block it (e.g. CUK) because if you are using it, you're probably up to no good.

            You would know most.

              You are confusing yourself with f75.

                Psst... there is actually a sockie black market on CUK - the rates for a clean unused sockie are going through the roof at the moment...

                  You still renting them rather than buying your own alexei?

                    It is a sensible strategy given their short lifespan...
