    Duplicate accounts are now starting to ruin this board. It was quite funny at first, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's starting to get irritated by all this now.

    Is there any way to check IP addresses to see who these losers are?

    *YAWN*

    I think the mods have better things to do with their time than manage duplicate accounts. People should just accept that some people think it's funny to have dozens of identities and move on. If it annoys you, put them on your ignore list and don't read what they say.

    i think if someone has several identities on the internet it's only polite to treat them each as individuals.

    otherwise you are being multiple-personality-ist.

    I agree. Everyone has got to do their bit. As soon as I spot a sockie I out him/her immediately. It's no easy task as they seem to be breeding with each other now and multiplying at an alarming rate. cheers

    what should everyone do to look out for sockies? they're ruining the board :(

    I think there might be more validity to Dan's point, if he was not hitting "Thanks" on the obvious troll/sock puppet that just appeared today, cluttering the board with childish name-calling.
