No More Sock Puppets.
If you have one- stop using it. It's not good for the Sift- and up there with self-linking as a form of self promotion that we want to prevent.
If you suspect a sock-puppet from this point on, please send me a private profile comment and I'll check it out.
I don't consider this squealing- I would just like us all to police the Sift to try and keep things as meritorious as possible.
We could make IP addresses viewable by certain level members- but there are privacy issues that are probably best left out of the mix.

This must be endemic if posted like this...
Establishing a policy and process is a *quality idea.

Not endemic- but it's out there. Just don't want it to be a wink-wink kind of rule.
This rule has been in place since the inception of the Sift - but we've enforced it on an ad-hoc basis - without making a big deal about it.
Just sos ya know, Soupskin is my husband thus we use the same IP address sometimes. Other times, he is at work. But we are not the same person. At all. Our therapist assures me of this.
^nice. Yeah, I have a gf on here too, but she's rarely online. She usually pops on here to be my sock pupp-- er, I mean, to vote my videos up mercilessly. Though, she hasn't been around much lately. Damn her. I'm breaking up with that selfish broad!
I´m married to siftbot. Please don´t ban her.

No one would accuse you of sock puppetry, because you so rarely post videos anyway.
^I'd accuse her of sock puppetry, because smibbo spelled backwards is "Oh snap I have a sock puppet, mothertruckaz!"
So maatc, you're responsible for this MySpace page then?

^ HAH! Sifty is going in my top 8.
Anyway, like I said before "sbelau" is one of my best friends and he uses my PC sometimes, but I told him not to upvote anything that I submitted from my house. Hopefully that's good enough.
Sockpuppetry undermines the very foundations of Videosift, so obviously if a case is proved it should dealt with harshly and swiftly.
