Sock Puppet News: I don't know if I am completely behind the curve and everyone already knows, but in this thread cortex gets the strings all tangled up, and accidentaly outs himself as the puppet master behind Astro Zombie and/or Astro Zombie 2 and/or InfidelZombie... I think.

meditations on the naming of a sock puppet (wish there was a more inside for meta)

Shouldnt there be a way, where members in good standing can pay an additional $5 and get to ask another question before their 1 week auto-block is up?
This is functionally the same as getting a second sock puppet account and thus having two accounts from which to ask questions -- without all the run-around and deception.

After reading this ask.me where it appears that a user accidentally outed their sockpuppet, what's the policy about using sockpuppets to skip around the 1 question per week rule?

Just curious: is this guy a sockpuppet for this guy?

This user is this user. Both link to lame link-farm sites on their user pages. Both seem to be making pointless comments, assumingly so they can eventually spam metafilter. Enough said.

Remember airnxtz? He's the dude who came to AskMefi to help plan his eventual EBay scams. The thread is a must read if you haven't already been.

Here's the thing.. it's missing an ending! I want more! But where the hell should I post it? What more can be done? We did so much... to end up signifying nothing. :(

Is there or should there be a policy concerning accounts of people that admit to being sockpuppet accounts? [mi]

In a previous thread, crunchland said:

knowing people's sock puppets or making IP's public would so let the steam out of threads like this.

And today I was looking over comments on this post. If one hovers over the commentator's name one can see the IP, or resolved domain, of the person who posted. Of course, there's probably ways around this kind of thing, but it might be a good start. Can we have something like this?

my old username is now my newusername.reclycling is good. but can i change my name again and not get flogged for name hopping?(first post warning)

Anyone else noticed that there are now 10,500 members. And I remember when everyone was complaining about 8000. I'm sure, however, that some of these must be members who've registered a name simply for a single thread either as a joke or theme. So how about an amnesty. How about listing all of the user names you've ever used...see that's better...

I really enjoy metafilter and there seem to be alot of intelligent people here. I need some help, I'm going in for a public relations job interview on Tuesday and know nothing about public relations. I fabricated a resume and writing samples to get the interview. My question is do any of you work in Public Relations, and can you give me some tips on the questions/answers I should expect at the interview, its on Tuesday. This is not a joke, really, thanks for the help.
