User blog comment:The Ultimate Thinker/How to catch a Sock Puppet?/@comment-24874466-20140817011845

I very helpful blog about an important subject. I would think that the sock may hardly speak to any other users at all or even the main account. If one had a sock and they were already a known active user of chat, forums, talk pages and other interaction pages, their sock may veer away from interacting with other users. Persumably, this is because the original user would know other users may recognize them by identifying them through the sock's mistakenly given info, personality or something other. For example, in chat, a sock may mention their favorite color to be red because of the roses they grow and are very fond of. If another user decides to join the chat and sees this, there's a chance that the original user already stated this to them and forgot, thus blowing their cover.

However, there are other reasons a certain user may not come into contact with other users. They could be foreign and not confident in their speaking abilities or they could just prefer not to. Pinpointing a sock is a lot harder than one may think, so much evidence is required before any action can be made.
