What do we think of socks and implants?

From the submission thread:
Just how good is the SDMB at finding socks?
Say, for instance, I feel like creating a sock account and I use an anonymizer or proxy bypasser, is that enough to hide my identity or would they bust my ass and throw my p2p account off the board before I could say oh shit!

Of course, this is all purely hypothetical!


Silicon implant debate. Not a single thread on it in the entire SDMB. You would think these guys would be all over that.

I got banned once for being a sock puppet on the basis of my IP address being the same as that of a previously banned poster--and I was using an anonymous proxy. I don't think the admins take the possibility of anonymous proxies/shared IP addresses into account when banning someone, either because they don't know or because they don't care.

(Note that I didn't post anything to "give myself away" as a previously registered poster; it was solely on the basis of the IP that they banned the account.)

Anonymous here again. I should add that I was stirring controversy, giving them a reason to "investigate" the account. If you don't do anything to make them consider you a "problematic" poster, they'll never bother to look at your IP address.

When(or if) you explained this to them, that it was a proxy, did they reverse their decision?

Nope. I emailed TubaDiva and never received a response. I would have emailed others, but hers is the only admin email I could find without the ability to view user profiles, which only comes with a paid SDMB subscription.

Couldn't you use a different proxy and then create another account?

Well, of course. Creating short-term guest accounts just to troll the board gets old fast, though.

They most likely know about anon proxy's, probably pisses em off too. The proxy you listed points to Dallas, Tx. All the dope would get is this I.P. 70.84.199.122. They don't have a way to get your actual I.P. unless they ask the proxy "hey I want to know the I.P. of a person who accessed our site through your proxy." And I don't see that happening. Of course you could go through a few different proxy's at the same time if you wanted.

Thats because Indy the Boobgrrl would be all over it with her fake tits obsession. I just love the way she points out that its safe because its saline- but don't try to counter that by pointing out the bags still made from silicone! One of her nipples might explode!

Anyway, I think most guys can't tell the difference between fake and real tits. Its gotten to the point where I know some guys who actually prefer the fake ones, because the real ones look saggy to them in comparision. (Though they're not, actually, its just they don't look like two orange halves parked on your chest the way fake ones do.)

Let me scrounge up some pics and we can do a compare for educational purposes. Just cleveage, no nips, I promise!

Here ya go! Found a great example of each. It would be neat to have a thread on the boards about it.

Real:

And fake:

Because breasts are mostly composed of fatty tissue, gravity does not give the natural breasts a curve on top. No matter how hard you push upwards, that curved line/ridge just won't happen. Fake breasts, however, do have that distinctive curve on/across the top.

This isn't 100% accurate, however, because smaller sized implants, and teardrop-shaped implants avoid "pushing" the breasts out the way bigger ones do. But I'd say most boob jobs are bad, and having them be so common has kind of made them the norm.

Here endeth the lesson.

Silicone implants...are filled with a synthetic gel, a fluid with a consistency not unlike thinned-out maple syrup. This liquid more closely mimics authentic tissue, and over time, silicone gel oozes to conform with the natural tear-drop shape of a patient's breasts. Saline implants, meanwhile, tend to retain their round, balloonish quality, and are thus easier to spot with a cursory glance.

Based on casual observation, it appears that the number of women receiving breast augmentation surgery has increased in the last decade or so. As it happens, silicone implants were banned in the early 1990s (in the U.S., anyway). These two factors, then, have combined to give us the prevalence of cantaloupe-hooters seen today.

I fear the biggest demand for silicone is going to be young girls whose boyfriends think their breasts are "gross and saggy" because they grew up only ever seeing fake ones in jazz mags and porno films.

Like guys who freak out over pubic hair because they've never really seen it before, as all porno models are shaven/waxed.

"jazz mags"? WTF? You got something against Kenny G? I'll bet you're a fuckin' cockbiter.

Kenny G does not play jazz. Kenny G plays a fourth-rate interpretation of Satan's farts.

Lol to both of the above.

From here:

jazz mag
(Eng.) Slang term for pornographic literature.
"Gross, you got my jazz mag all wet."

I've never heard the term jazz mag. I've heard the term jizz mag.

I remember a Peter Bagge comic where one character referred to another's girlfriend as his "jizz jar". I always wished that term had caught on.
