Just saw someone with an 8 post count get banned which made me wonder if anyone got banned in 1 or 2 posts. Anyone know?

Didn’t one get banned while _in the process of registering_? Now THAT is efficient sock killing!

How do people even create socks? Someone else in my family tried to register and I got a message something along the lines that “This IP has already been registered.”
