Sock-Puppetting and the Current Affairs Forum

Sock puppeting should be reported...trying to out somebody on thread is disgraceful. I got warned yesterday for discussing a poster on thread.

Think you might have a job proving that one...both accounts have been accused of being paid for by the Shinners....but knock yourself out there.

Good stuff, I'll leave it with him then.

There are posts in the FB history that were removed under a GDPR request, you are not seeing the whole picture as I have already told you. Simple explanation here is that the FB account was set up for a purpose with mod approval, and that purpose was no longer needed in 2016.

I contacted the mods because the happyman42 account was repeatedly attacked for being a shinnerbot account, and asked could I close it and use the other account, that was fine with them. Other accounts like did the same thing around the same time (I can name one significant one, still posting away like myself)

Two accounts are not against the rules if mods know and I hold my hands up to making a few mistakes in the 5 years. Sock puppeting though? You guys are desperate

so you wanted to stop using the happyman42 account because it had a reputation as a shinnerbot account and then used the franciebrady account which basically does the same thing? Like I said, this stinks and doesn't stand up to any kind of scrutiny.

so no need to start using a new account then. if you keep posting in defence of sinn fein then the same accusations will start.

Why would i need to prove it? I'm asking you a direct question, is my interpretation correct?

With regard to politics Jack...I think it is pretty pretty batshit evident that both accounts are of the same opinion. So your theory is wrong.

I doubt you had mod approval to have 2 accounts to post about sinn fein and related topics.

I never had to have approval to post about SF...or FG or FF for that matter. What kind of nonsense is that?

I had mod approval for the two accounts. As I said, mods will allow it if you inform them.

Any evidence I was using that account in the 6 years to 'sock puppet'?

Pretty lame sock puppeting you must agree?

did you have mod approval to have 2 accounts posting about sinn fein topics? you didn't. you posted about sinn fein topics using both accounts at the same time. you didn't have approval for that. that is sock-puppetting. at first you denied it now you describe it as lame.

Fair enough if mods/admins back up your claims here - but that's the first time they've ever been aired before.

Throwing abuse left, right and centre at people because they weren't privy to your secret back-room deals is....... well sadly typical of what we've come to expect of you TBH

How come you haven't reported this before if you knew I was Happyman42?

Or did you want to just cause a bit of smoke? 😀

certainly not at the same scale as the posters in the OP but sock-puppetting nonetheless.
