Who's going to be the first one banned from Surly?

And that is part of the sock issue . You can mask your IP address to hide multiple socks .  The whole IP address thing is a false flag excuse.

Is there a way to tell if they are using a bullshit VPN IP address? I recall a few websites blocking sign up to their site because it recognized a VPN address was being used.

[markstanco 12575]

What's the waiting period to buy a handgun? Make it like that for new signups before they can post since it's all Cloak Room morons doing this.

They will just get one over the counter at a username show.

I'm not sure I understand the question. No VPN IP is any less "bullshit" than the rest. Yes, you can detect to some degree if someone is *using* a VPN, but a lot of people use VPNs. 

i.e. socks are more likely to use VPNs, probably, that doesn't mean that every inbound VPN IP is someone using a sock account. I've probably posted from dozens of different IP addresses on the same account. 

 

[mdmost 43001]

Are you a sock? If you are, you have to tell us.

[Vic Mackey 47027]

Yeah, you're right. VPNs are not banned or outlawed so you couldn't really differentiate on whom is using one to get around IP bans and whom is using one because that is just what they use.

Hiding an IP address or masking multiple socks isn't impossible. Different IP addresses is a reason given to explain away the claim one poster isn't multiple posters on web sites. A lot of it's way beyond my pay grade, the son has been explaining it slowly.

[Lurch 5930]

that would be fucking hilarious, but don't stop there-- give them ascending banhammer powers so that treefiddy poster #164 can ban anyone from 165 on but not the 163 above him, and don't tell anyone what their number is

Everyone has a secret retaliation target. If you get hit by the treefiddy banhammer, your target also gets hit.

Administer the MMPI to all new posters.  Sure it'll be administratively burdensome, but that's not my problem - I'm just an idea man.

correct. as a matter of fact, it's made moderating more difficult.

but, since you will not let go of the hugo/david dennison sock thing, i can tell you that we can also see the providers when it is NOT a vpn. for instance, i can see your provider and location when i click on your IP address. i can see that you are not in texas and not an AT&T subscriber. i could see similar things on those profiles. so while i understand that you have some weird personal stake in hugo being david dennison, i can tell you that they use different providers in different locales. usually, when someone is using a vpn, we get an "unknown" or "could not resolve host" message when checking IPs.

so while i guess it's possible we have some super hackers spoofing IP addresses to post copiously under different identities, it's not the case for hugo or david dennison.

get over it.

i can deny that he is from within russian borders.

if i found that any poster who purported differently was posting from some sketchy ass foreign IP, they would be banned with a quickness.

You can shitpost 100 hundred pretty easily but the 50 rep will be hard to get. Good way to battle the socks.
