"LOTS of people have socks"

[Behind the Aegis]

8. I don't. Never did.

Personally, if socks could be used reliably, I would have no issue with them. I was a member when socks were allowed; then Skinner banned their use. If you were caught using one, both the sock and the "hand" were tombstoned. I think a number of people have been using when DU3 started because the software didn't track like the old software did. Others started activating old accounts and the like (any account I see from prior to 2006 (the year I think they were banned) is suspicious to me, unless they have been a constant poster).

I don't know where the admins stand now, and don't recall Skinner saying they were OK (of course, with Meta being wiped out, a whole chunk of transparency went down the drain). At this point in the game, I don't think they should be allowed at all.
