Guest Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 My son was trying to sign up as a new member of the forum. He is having trouble logging in. He tried the link for those having trouble logging in. It sent him into a re-direct loop. Is there a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crypto Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Sometimes?I recently experienced something like that. After logging in to the normal login, the redirected login, or the if you are having problems logging in log in, normally manually going back to lds.net would show me as logged in.If not there is a new login problem.

Guest Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I remember on the old software, there were 2 sign-in links and one worked, but the other didn't. I don't know if there's an issue like that here. I think pam has most access to the techy side of stuff. We're all a little loopy here, so he'd fit right in, anyway.

Guest Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Could it be that the server is detecting that we're at the same IP address and thinks we're clones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 That hasn't been a problem before that I know of. For instance, Faramir and I have the same IP, and we have others in the same households that are able to register and sign in without problems. (Note to those with sockpuppet wishes: don't do it. It's against the rules, and you will get caught.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David13 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Sockpuppet? I had never thought of such a thing. Eowyn, thanks for enlightening me. What a thought. I could have my own cheerleader. "Oh, isn't that David13 a great guy, he's so smart. And what a great avatar he has." Etc.But my self-esteem is probably already too high, and bordering on pride. So I'll put the idea out of my head.But thanks for the idea Eowyn.Just a brief fantasy.dc Edited November 4, 2015 by David13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 It's been done. It's a sad, pitiful course of action, but it's been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vort Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 That's what I need. A sockpuppet. I will call her Bjorkä and find her an avatar of some old guy. She will spend her time extolling the virtues and infinite insight of Vort. Or maybe she will say really silly things that I can point at and laugh. Ah, sweet Bjorkä, which one shall you be? classylady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I thought SGoodman was already your cheerleader. Anyway, I vote for the cigar guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 It's probably because he had not validated his account yet. That's taken care of now so hopefully he'll be able to log in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 He's good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crypto Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Could I make a sock puppet if it is clearly indicated it is a sock puppet. Such as a username saying "Crypto'sSockpuppet" and then a disclaimer in the signature stating "Crypto and CryptosSockpuppet are the same person"?

Vort Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Can my sock puppet have a sock puppet? If so, can I be my sock puppet's sock puppet? Crypto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David13 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 It's been done. It's a sad, pitiful course of action, but it's been done. It would be sad and pitiful.So sad and pitiful.And a whole lot of fun, that's for sure.Until I got caught, at least, I guess.dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classylady Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 And, they do get caught. Eventually, they make some mistake and we (the mods) catch it. And, then they are banned. So, if anyone is reading this and actually thinking of doing it. Don't!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 And not just the sockpuppet gets banned, the regular account does, too. Off to banned camp for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
