The Administrator can remove a user profile from the public board, so not even registered users can access it to search for threads or posts by that user, while leaving all of the posts intact and they will still show up in searches using parameters other than that username.

Just 'cause you can't be trusted with multiple usernames we should all do without that option?

Close down my Pilau and Carrot Pilausson accounts and I will kill you. I will physically kill you.

She's got hobknockers? Is that like those things that Madonna wears?

Happy Monkey · 10-11-2013, 07:14 PM

So it's a roundabout way to make it hard to search? What's the point?

sexobon · 10-11-2013, 07:44 PM

Previously posted info may now be detrimental because you're on the outs with someone who knows that Cellar username.

Casual cross-referencing of usernames may enable investigators to research all of them in background checks, especially federal agencies that require access to your personal computer (FBI did this with my niece) before granting a security clearance necessary for employment.

Stalking can be thwarted (that's what UT did for me).

And believe it or not, sometimes people just want a fresh start after youthful indiscretions especially if previously posting as a minor and later making the request as an adult.

However, Drax has assured us he is an adult and has been for some time, so no problem. Right?

Sockpuppets are an intrinsic part of the Cellar. I'm with Dana on that. If you don't like it for what it is...... remember the bar analogy? It's like walking into a brewpub and demanding they only serve Miller Lite because that's all you can handle. Plus how to distinguish a sockpuppet from another dweller with the same IP? There are 2.1 dwellars here.

Are you saying that raugaj is still around?

jimhelm · 10-11-2013, 10:04 PM

Yeah, I just came out.

Out of your sisters bedroom!

monster · 10-11-2013, 10:20 PM

sister's bedroom.... I lolled

My sincere apologies to everyone. Clearly no one likes my suggestion, so you'll see no more suggestions from me. Every admin has their own way of running his/her board. If Tony doesn't mind a buncha sockpuppets clogging up his member database, and therefore taking up hard drive space, then who am I to argue?

I [b]especially[b] apologize to Dana for calling her a hobknocker. It was mean and uncalled for,,, and after looking it up at Urban Dictionary, it apparently means something a tad less gross than what I always thought, but still would be anatomically impossible for Dana.

Take a look at the dweller list. It's kind of fun. Anyway, there's a huge number of registered dwellers that show up once or twice then never (or seldom) post again. Sock aren't even a drop in the bucket compared to the cellar ghosts.

Whut's the difference 'tween sockpuppets, cellar ghosts, and "Anonymous?" Srsly, I don't know...and neither would a newbie Dwellar.

I gotta hand it to ya' tho. This is one of the things that differentiates The Cellar from most other boards.

Troll Kingdom is much much worse. They take it to an extreme. I don't have any duals there. Ironic, huh.
