What a joke, moderator deletes comments mentioning any alts yet lets sock puppet after sock puppet post rubbish all day long.
That's because socks are not against the forum rules. Folks make money buying and selling accounts, with full forum/mod approval.
The "we ain't doing it to scam" backstory is built on the premise that those accounts are used to spam the forum with signature ad campaigns.

I'm not moaning about there being socks in the first place I'm saying its a joke that my posts would be deleted as presumably off topic but the rubbish the socks and trolls post isn't. This is the de facto anything goes topic and has been for well over a year.
