What is a meat puppet?
Are there rules governing use of meat puppets?
Can I have one?

Answer these questions and get them added to FAQs. (Just so I don't look senile).

God Edit: We're cracking down on sockpuppet accounts as they're being abused recently.

It's another user account you use to be mean to people without them knowing it's you.
I prefer just being mean directly.

But he can't reply to gazzes or fix problems we've continually mentioned :(

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:49, Reply)

What problems?
I think stuff's working pretty well here.
( Cawl, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:50, Reply)

Just the fact that we don't have highlight posts which has been mentioned loads of times

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:50, Reply)

Going out on a limb here
But I'm guessing sock puppets are a problem everywhere. The post highlighting is only a problem on qotw.
( Captain V, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:52, Reply)

what do you mean by highlight posts?

(PsychoChomp, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:53, Reply)

Agreed

I was wondering if (G/M)od readitted OT.
It feels like we've built our nest in a weird part of b3ta. Like there was a whole other community living on one Link of the /links board.

It's always exciting to be touched by a mod.

Touched by the hand of Mod
Sounds like an album by New Order doesn't it?
(Bicycle Repairman "you're also a bit of a wanker", Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:52, Reply)

But
Was the touch in a good or bad way?

I, erm, err, well, you know

( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:54, Reply)

It's all about the Bad Touch.

How about it, eh?

Sorry >_<
You know, just forum banter, innit.

Oh yeah
Every body loves the Bad Touch.
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 12:04, Reply)

Which mod?
Given that I've only ever met cr3 in person, I challenge that chthonic, scaryduck and cr3 are all in fact the same individual AICMFP.
(Bicycle Repairman "you're also a bit of a wanker", Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:55, Reply)

Hmmm...
Cr3's young = The Son
cthonic's old = The Father
scaryduck... is the other one = Holy Ghost
( Cawl, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:57, Reply)

Hmmm
Perhaps cr3/scaryduck/chthonic is cracking down on sockpuppets as he fears losing his position as sockpuppet master.
( Captain V, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:57, Reply)

Good Lord!
The prospect of God Meat Puppets is scary and is frazzling my poor little brain.
(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:58, Reply)

I wonder what the mod controls look like.
I've been a mod before, which gives you a fucking power trip (on a small forum, but hey, I didn't own it!) but b3ta's not like the messageboards I used to use. It's more like Usenet. And that's unmoderated.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 11:59, Reply)

It's pretty cool.
I was a mod for a while, but I got banned for abusing it.
( Cawl, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 12:00, Reply)

This has to be a terrible internet lie
Nobody in their right mind would have you as a mod!
( Captain V, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 12:01, Reply)

Different forum.
It doesn't exist now... I kinda broke it.
( Cawl, Tue 7 Jul 2009, 12:03, Reply)

I'd love to find people from my old Forum.
I know the core lot - still in contact with quite a few - but there a few I'd like to just see again.

If anyone remembers ShrinkingUniverse, give me a gaz.

Just thought of Kaol on a scooter
Wearing a parka with a target on the back. Now there's a reversal.

Do you get sparkly buttons?
And bats, flying across the screen?
