so basically you just need to have two accounts or ip servers?
You can have as many sock accounts as you have IPs.
You can have a hella lot IPs.
Start with your desktop, likely wired into cable. One IP.
Then your cellphone, say with Verizon. IP #2.
You have a phone from your job, hooked into their regional phone line. There's your 3rd IP.
You have the computer at work, the 4th IP.
You have a Tablet or Ipad bouncing off the neighbor's signal, giving you a 5th IP.
Then there's the local library, that gives you 6 IPs
Starbucks and assorted other wireless cafes give you 7 (or more) IPs.
Joining a board and jumping too soon into the drama threads, and knowing too much about the players is a dead giveaway.
So is your posting style.
I love it when someone forgets which IP is used by which of their socks.
Timing is everything, socks tend to appear in close proximity to the core personality.
Location, location, location - Not just the physical location of the IPs, but which threads the core and its socks post on. Socks rarely stray far from their owner.
^^^^ - If a bunch of IPs show up at around the same time from some small area, it's a sockfest. (Exceptions being adbots and spambots)
that just seems real complex to have all these personalities on a message board
and you are right that must take a lot of energy and thinking...what a waste

It gets worse.
These people have nothing in RL to connect to. They might have jobs and even families, but it's all grey and beige to them. They don't come to life until they create a bunch of personas and invade some boards. That's where the color and excitement is. And the power. In RL they don't feel listened to, or popular, or strong, or whatever. In multiple numbers, behind an awesome avatar, they're cyber godz. It's like a drug to them.
o hell what was it i watched the other day....tohotblonde?
Talhotblond is a 2009 documentary, detailing an Internet love triangle which resulted in a real life homicide, in a case called the "Internet Chatroom Murder." Thomas Montgomery (screen name: marinesniper), a 47-year-old married man, pleaded guilty to murdering his co-worker, 22-year-old Brian Barrett (screen name: beefcake). The two men were involved in a love triangle with "Katie," an 18 year old girl with the screen name 'talhotblond'. While both men knew each other from work, neither had ever met "Katie" in person. However, "Katie" was a real person, but it was actually her mother, Mary Shieler, who was posing as her daughter, online. Katie was unaware of her mother's actions until after Barrett had been murdered and her mother's role in the case became widely known.

back with another question...if they cannot tell who is a sock then how can an admin/mod say someone is not a sock?
No.
The only definitive identifier the admins have to weed out sock accounts is IP addresses.
IP addresses can be spoofed easily if you're willing to fork out $19.95/mo for the service.
so basically you just need to have two accounts or ip servers?
You can have as many sock accounts as you have IPs.
You can have a hella lot IPs.

when a poster accuses a new poster of being a sock...arent they simply saying that the admins and mods of this board are failing in their jobs?
so which is it....is this board ran over with socks.....or are the admins/mods doing their job and cleaning out the sock drawer?
... Starbucks and assorted other wireless cafes give you 7 [/B](or more) IPs.
If you are using your own laptop when you go to Starbucks or any other place, you don't get a different IP address. IPs are assigned to each device, so your computer's IP doesn't change just cause you use it at Starbucks or at a hotel somewhere.

Well, bummer...I thought the IP was assigned to each device no matter where you took it.You can have as many sock accounts as you have IPs.

Actually you do Mertex. The ISP provides the IP. So if at home you access the net via Time Warner Cable you'll be assigned an IP, when you head to Starbucks and connect to their WiFi provided by another ISP you'll be assigned a different IP.
IP's aren't stored on your device. Hope that makes sense
