Let's talk socks.
Please indulge me I'm coming down, or up depending on your perspective of a manic cycle.


First someone click on my icon. Arriving at 'Viewing profile'

can ya see below the Karma icons, this link titled:
"View comments to user’s karma"

Does it show my received Karma messages?
How about on your profile, a link to yer karma?

I thought karma messages were private but all my socks can see intrinsic's.
I can see my socks karma too, except for one.
And of course I can't see anybody else.
As if all my socks are linked in a pool as the same user.

paranoia. Is there a setting to turn it on/off, can't find it.

I've heard since the OG days that karma messages are not entirely private because admin can see them. I didn't know it worked that way with one's own socks though. But admins have a couple of extra buttons on each post, one for info reveals who's sock it is, if they were using the same IP. To avoid that you can use a VPN to employ a different IP whenever you start a sock and post with it, and btw Opera browser has a handy free VPN built right in.

Thanks munchy!
You did check as a normal user that you can or cannot see intrinsic's Karma?

Right nobody else's. But one sock that can see intrinsic Karma yet I cannot see that socks Karma. I suspected the IP BS so I haven't used that sock for a month now since I'm stuck at home using the same address not having dial-up anymore. Dial up always handed a new IP address whenever you log on.

You can borrow my sock, but it's now flagged, if I'm allowed to post at all, I have Opera I'll try VPN later

if anyone can't read this I've been censored, write your congressman.!!!!

Damn post Nazis, :grin: socks are like second-class citizens, locked in detention like an immigrant.

Tentatively pushes the post button...
