i was just looking through the posts and i noticed how billfitzmaurice has a banned title under his name in his post,, anyone have any idea on why someone like bill fitzmaurice, an almost legend in diy bass horns, is banned? blows me away, i built one of his designs and it was astonishing,, someone like that is very usefull to have around diyaudio.com,, anyways just struck me funny
It disappointed me, too. I liked his horn articles in SB/AX, but some people can't seem to follow basic rules.
Bill could never get into the spirit of the board, treating it as a forum for advertising his product... then he went overboard with sock-puppeting. I, unfortuneatly never read his articles with the same respect again -- i found his last article quite over the top...

correct me if im wrong, but sock-puppeting is when you create other accounts or aliases when you are sin-binned (or banned or whatever) to keep posting. basically, using multiple accounts on diyaudio.com

More or less... anytime you create a 2nd account while you have an active one.
In one case Bill was replying to his own posts with a sock-puppet....

so how do you decide someone is sock puppeting? They use the same IP address? Seems like a unusual thing to do in the first place but catching it seems nearly impossible to me...
Surprised about how many people there are that have been in the sin bin.

With 35.000 members I think the sinbin figures are very modest.
I'm pretty sure many other forums ban more rapidly.
Comparing a person's post style is in many cases the determinant factor for finding double registrations.

There were people on this forum (or one specific person to be exact.... ) that could do this in a very refined way.

We have a variety of tools at our disposal to determine if someone is infact a sock puppet. The exact details of these tools shall remain unknown to all but the few that are allowed to use them.
