What is a sock puppet?

I hear that term once in a while. I was a bit scared to ask about it because I didnt want to look uncool in front of the other kids.

What is it?
A sock puppet is a false identity. By creating a new identity, the puppeteer can add comments that appear to be independent, backing up the puppeteer's posts from the puppeteer's original account.

Not even my sock puppets like me. The majority of the lounge (I'd say at least 85%) is me.





Wouldnt it be a bit odd if a regular suddenly got a few single poster newbies on his or her thread cheering them on?

Serious puppeteers create sock puppets well in advance, and will boost their Karma by awarding Karma back and forth between them.

Wow. That takes some serious planning!

I might as well post my question in this thread. I was trying to work out Karma.

I apologise to all who have said something deserving of Karma as I've never clicked on that button once. However, I have Karma and I don't know why/how.

Is there a way you can check at what time, at what place and for what reason you were awarded Karma?

Regards
Caleb
