As an aside, I also know my QI, and when the Spanish Inquisition bit comes up I like to link to the surprising bit that in old Spain… Everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition.

Yeah, but the comment is just a 24-hour suspension. I guess he could be a sock sitting around for a few years, waiting to be activated. Weird. ---

Some mods have reported puppeteers creating multiple socks, which the puppeteer would cycle through as each one gets banned. ---

I assume that **What Exit** first suspended him, then further review by him or other mods revealed the socking and it was changed to a ban. There’s no reason for them to update the comment in the thread at that point.
