I was a mod when a fairly small fandom message board began to die out. Out of boredom and curiosity I began checking old IP addresses and went down a rabbit hole of finding out a lot of accounts (some BNF, some barely used) shared IP addresses. I'm not a techy person so I didn't want to assume that this was indication that all shared IPs meant 1 user. But I'm not niave enough to think all of this was coincidence. The fandom had fans around the world but most were based in North America or Western European countries.
All of the people I made friends with at that forum had at least 2 accounts attached to the same IPs.

Now that I'm much older I can say...people are bored and people are lonely. Sometimes people will do whatever weird/questionable things in fandom to boost themselves up. In the most nonbiased way I think people should be allowed to enjoy themselves so long as they aren't causing harm and damage.
But you know, that goes into my personal opinions on sockpuppets and TBRH if you're over a certain age (I'll be generous and say older than 22-23) it's especially distasteful, I think it's immature and stupid. Do you want to enjoy your fandom or do you want to fuck around as if you're in high school all over again and you're fighting over who is going to be prom queen/king? That's what it comes off to me at least. These flame wars or creating sock puppets to get a thing popular or using it to rig polls or whatever??? Like...IDK
I guess I've been burned by petty fandom drama too much that I hate the whole "lol we're just having fun fucking around with the fandom lol it's not that serious lol" all the while those very same people are creating armies of sock puppet accounts
¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
And FTR, I never told anyone cuz I ain't no snitch ass bitch, just a judgmental one
