What was MuppetCheck(tm)

    Years ago before the disasterous move to Vanilla and before incel trolls named after nazi generals started running amok there was a top secret mod tool called MuppetCheck that flushed many of these chancers out before they could get a foothold on the site.

    Details are sparse. Theories suggest it might be a highly advanced AI-overlord-enabled writing style analyser that was years ahead of its time and could sniff out a troll with the first line of text they write. Now that it's gone with the bows and the arrows can someone in the know explain how it used to work?

    First rule of Muppetcheck club is we don't talk about Muppetcheck.

    EPM - Enhanced Private Moderation. It was a way for the mods to check login credentials and creation information for new accounts to catch re-regs. No problem with re-reging of course, but the problem was and is if you rereg to avoid a ban.
