| Nov 29, 2016 at 19:34 | comment | added | Matsmath | @Sid on other SO sites it happens from time-to-time that so-called Voting circles show up, where literally dozens of people ask either ridiculous questions or verbatim copy-paste from previous well received questions and answer/upvote each other. Voting rings are a kind of generalized sockpuppeteers with multiple users involved each having multiple accounts. I have witnessed "attacks" from such voting rings where questions coming from them flooded the site.Now that is not normal. | |
| Nov 29, 2016 at 18:28 | comment | added | user20 | @greenturtle3141 Sockpuppetry is when a user creates an additional account, and uses it at the same time as their main account. While not on its own disallowed, any use of multiple accounts for any gain against the system is. | |

| Nov 29, 2016 at 15:29 | comment | added | Sid | @Matsmath "interfere with the site's normal activity"- Could you care to elaborate what you are saying here? | |
| Nov 29, 2016 at 3:43 | comment | added | greenturtle3141 | Sorry, what is sock-puppetry in this sense? | |
| Nov 28, 2016 at 20:52 | comment | added | Matsmath | Any reason why anyone besides the moderators would keep such a "bulleted list"? I mean... as long as the puppeteer does not interfere with the site's normal activity, then who cares? What possible good could come out of this? | |

| Nov 28, 2016 at 17:57 | comment | added | user14478 | I don't think there's anything wrong with posting it (IMO letting the public know is more important than protecting a user). We of course don't know if the evidence is convincing or not, but the votes will show that. | |
