I was skimming the archives to find the last sockpuppet discussion, in response to irritation expressed in Bitches (cf Universe and also March).
It quickly got changed into a deathmatch announcement discussion, and y'all may remember how badly that went.
So I never saw if there was a consensus.
Me? I've never found one funny, and they make me grouchy after a while. Also disturbs my data-cleanliness OCD.
Just a question re: the last discussion, was the biggest argument for Sang Sacre?
(I have no care on eway or another - since I had the baby almost nothing irritates me except work - I'm just curious)
hate them. multiple log-ins should only be for that thread with the role-playing thing.
Sang Sacre - What Aimee said.
Historically, we've encouraged people to use real names, but that's withered as the Internet got waaaaaay too crowded. I would like to propose that we expect people to use precisely one name; pick a pseud, if you must, but stick to it.
So. Formal proposal: Add to Buffista etiquette the following: "One account per customer. Please don't set up multiple accounts under different names. Anybody showing up as a concept or any other abstract noun will be asked to prove it."
Not sure I agree, but I Second the Proposal.

And I second. (Knowing full well that it might fuck up Sang Sacre in ways that might make some people angry. That's why we have Lightbulbs.)
This is a problem? Am I not paying attention again?
It's happening mostly in Bitches, I think.
Also, that doesn't include name changes for work purposes or changes to a RL name for those who become comfortable using it, righteo?
It's the same account with a name change on it, yes?
I second it also, although I don't care if someone shows up as an abstract noun. As long as it's a one to one mapping.
When someone's ducking under the radar (like vw did) or even constructing a Sang Sacre character, I don't care.
In fact, I'd also suggest a Sang Sacre exclusion, but the thread's been quiet for a while anyway. Still, it is neater that way in my head.
