Like lets say I go sign up again and Name the person SSam and then I tell people "hey whats up...I'm new to the forum!"

Title: Re: Demodded?
Post by: Ssarah on April 30, 2004, 10:26:40 PM
Yeah people seriously need to admitt to that if they do it, its really lame. Especially If they Try and get personal info outta people on the forum pretending to be someone else.

Post by: The End on April 30, 2004, 10:29:48 PM
Oh yeah... that IS very dodgy! Unless you're PC - he openly admits to being Slick Rick as well, so that's cool :)

I assume you mean the people who pretend to be someone completely different, to find out info from you.

Dang right. That ticks me off!

I mean really... It violates ALL trust.  It also makes me feel stalked and all creepy crawly.

Hey can anyone tell me if you can tell if two computers are in the same town?

Like lets say I made Ssarah on a computer and then Made Ssam on another computer at my school or at my house... would the IP's show up the same?
Title: Re: Demodded?
Post by: Bruno on April 30, 2004, 10:42:34 PM
nope. IPs are different for every computer, but the ISP (internet service provider) will be the same, but that doesn't really tell you if it is the same person.
Title: Re: Demodded?
Post by: Ssarah on April 30, 2004, 10:43:33 PM
Yeah but I thought that it would be like 55555555 for one computer and 555555554 for the next.... isnt it really close?

Possibly if it's a school comp or library.

Post by: Bruno on April 30, 2004, 10:47:32 PM
I'm not sure about that one but I don't think so. If you have two computers at home you can 'check' if the IPs are similar by going to: http://checkip.dyndns.org/ this website tells you your IP. I don't have two computers at home so I can't do it.
Title: Re: Demodded?
Post by: Ssarah on April 30, 2004, 11:06:31 PM
Oh well my computers at home are networked. So they do have the same exact IP address....I have posted on another forum on both computers and the IP address comes up the same.

I also know that by looking at three numbers...if they are the same then it means it is coming from the same town.  You can narrow it down to if it is coming from the same block.   That is why you should never give out IP address because people can find out where you live.

I will give you an example...


Here is what I can find with One of my school IP's address.... I changed the number a little bit and some of the info a little.

Title: Re: Demodded?
Post by: on May 01, 2004, 02:35:12 AM
Sock puppets.  Usually someone who posts under different names to agree with themselves or attack their 'enemies' by adding to the ranks.

It's stupid, it sucks, often the person is so transparent it is not hard to know who it is.

but there are enough times where they are quite good at it, and yes, it could be embarassing at least and maybe even a bit dangerous at the worst.

As to IP's, AOL and some other ISP's use changing #'s everytime you initiate a new session.  But regular ISP's do indeed often just have the one number.

There are also places where freeware can be had (legally) that will allow you to trace a post to a city, try www.sover.net (Son of Spy freeware---a safe, informational freeware site) and look in security.  One you might check into is Sam Spade (they're listed alphabetically).  There is also a samspade.org website where you can do these things without downloading software, but it is a bit complex unless you know computers somewhat.

It's pretty creepy that people do this.  I agree with Mister Charlie that it's usually pretty easy to tell who the person is.

He told me something about not wanting to be a mod with a high post count anymore. Just wanted to be normal so was going to melt into Luna.   He didn't want to be special anymore.


But thats just what he told me.

Honestly I don't understand what makes you feel like you are being treated any different then anyone else.  People don't look down on you and People dont look up to you like a god.  You are treated equally. I also know that people will forgive you for pretending to be someone else because people here tend not to be really shallow.  But your exscuse is not a good one hehe.

I think this thread is stupid.  No offense to anyone, but this topic is pointless.  I mean, it's the INTERNET, people.  There's no need to get all worked up about it.  If you don't trust someone (which you shouldn't trust anyone online with personal information, anyway, because you never know who you're talking to), then don't talk to them.  Simple, easy, painless.
Posting things like "confess", etc. are pointless, if someone wants to have a bunch of aliases, then that's fine.  I don't think a person should be "de-modded" for that.  It's just the internet.  I do, however, think it rather rude and unnecessary to post a whole thread, obviously (even though it didn't use names) pointing fingers at a specific person.  Tacky and classless if you ask me.  But then again, ever since the boards moved...that's what things have been diffusing towards; openly humiliating and not really accomplishing anything.  Please, people, use your heads.

Should not say something in private if it insults people behind their back.  Hell, anything I said you can post.  Anything I say about people on the forum I'd say to everyone. But then I don't usually say bad things about people. Especially big groups of people.
