Captain Clorox Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 When a note from CYBret doesn't make you fret, When a jiggle from a Quiggle only makes you giggle, When words from Keystone don't chill you to the bone And a brick from mtn-man doesn't make you change your plan, Then, my friend, prepare to meet your end May your socks be filled with holes that will never ever mend They'll be bleached with liquid Clorox until free of stains and white Then be condemned to spinning in the dryer, day and night. For puppets may be fun in forums at other sites but here they're fought by superheroes wearing tights So beware of Captain Clorox, for he'll send you to your tomb There's no "delicate" cycle in the Purple Dryer of Doom!

+BillsBayou Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Sock Puppet 1: Sock Puppet 2: Who watches the watchers? Does it really take a puppet to catch a puppet?

+tozainamboku Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Just found this on the PHP BBS forum Repeated changing of admin account names can corrupt databaseRepeated chaning of an admin account name can result in corruption of the database. Workaround: Do not allow admins to use sock puppet accounts. Link to comment

Captain Clorox Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 i see nothing wrong with the mods having sock puppet accounts. sometimes they take a lot of unnecessary grief when they close down a thread. this way they can avoid most of that. No I do not use my superhero powers for that purpose. Its like Shoeshine Boy and Underdog, or Clark Kent and Superman. Clark Kent is a normal guy that Groundspeak asked to be a mod. Superman wears tights. He is in comic books. His powers don't work in the real world. If you look at the list of moderators you wont find Captain Clorox or The Purple Dryer of Doom. Groundspeak knows the true identities of these accounts. They won't be posting very much. And if they're put to evil use, the owners would be slapped extra hard. Link to comment

+Totally Benign Sock Puppet Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) He's a little like "Blade"...a sock puppet fighting sock puppets to protect the civilized world from other, less nice, sock puppets.... He's the Kaiser Soze of the sock puppet world, feared by many, known by few, you may have had dealings with him without knowing it...he's the one that sock puppets tell their baby sock puppets about about at night...the boogie-sock-puppet... He's not just the president of sock puppets international, he's also a member... I don't know who he is, but I know that I sleep better knowing that the forums are under his protection...

ju66l3r Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 "Captain Chlorox" is a middle-aged man with children who watch Nickelodeon. Middle-aged because he can reference the true identity of Underdog...and he even knows about Underdog in the first place. With Nicktoons children because he stole his avatar from The Crimson Chin (a character on The Fairly Odd Parents). Really now, stealing from Nickelodeon....that's mighty low of a superhero.
