    We need to talk about sockies

    Anybody else getting fed up with the increasing encroachment on the CUK boards by a particularly tedious and repetitive sockie?

      Yes, it's high time to ban all sockies and Russian propaganda tools (even though they are far from being the sharpest in the shed)

      Mods, do the needful to protect CUK!

          The problem is not the number of sockies, it's probably the same as it has always been. It's more that there are not enough real posters as the mods have pissed all the regulars off.

          Sockies come back, regulars don't.

            You lot aren't so fussy when you're having a posh wank while you're listening in on Mum in the parlour with a client.

              But isn't it the defining quality of a sockie to be deliberately hostile and provocative?

              Mere tediousness isn't quite the same thing, however boring or annoying.

                I try to pack it all into one user.

                  Yes, but you're still here anyway.

                  As I recall, we fell out over this very issue. You decide that a member was a sockie, when, with my awesome moderator powers, I had found both alledged sockie'a and puppet master's facebook pages, company house entries and linkedin profiles. And they were different people.

                  But you, with the feeling in your water, knew better.

                  Now piss off and shut up like a good boy, why don't you. You must respect my authoritah!
