> **[Wife newly into BDSM and can't stop herself, what to do?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=710195)** > > Long time doper, but throwaway account because of the nature of the post. My wife and I have been together for nearly six years. When we were first dating we had an open relationship. We would have sex with others semi-frequently and participate... do you ban just the socks or the doper as well? ---

Usually, we ban all associated accounts. We do make exceptions, though, if it’s clear the poster didn’t realize he was breaking the rules. Particularly if they turn themselves, we almost always merge the accounts under the username of their choice, and allow them to continue posting. Usually, this happens when someone registers for the board, goes away for a while, and then can’t remember their old password or screen name. If the person is using the sock accounts to fuck around with other people - agreeing with himself so it looks like his position has more support than it does, say, or using the second screen name as cover to insult other posters - then they’re banned regardless of any protestations of ignorance about the rules. ---

I seem to remember there was one guy who created a sock to argue with himself. I think it was a pit thread. ---
