Info on sockupuppets is easy to find, for example on [link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_(Internet)]wiki[/link]: "sockpuppet poses as an independent third-party unaffiliated with the puppeteer". Read up on the link for history, info and various uses of sockuppets. And then [link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry]this link[/link] for examples that concern wiki and their take on it.
For us here it means members here should only use one username. You are treated as a person not as a username. It is your choice what username/account you pick to be visible/represent you and if for some reason you wish to change it you need to be transparent about it and inform us.

It is easy to sign up. You click on the sign up button on the top of the page (it is not visible for logged in members, first you need to click on Logout). Fill in the few details on the page you are redirected to and voila you got an account with a .sorcery tag (which will not be visible on this site, but will show up on other yuku sites if you make posts there)
I removed your tag here in our forum, since you said you would prefer to not have it. Hope you like
