Here is the way I spot them.

1. They tend to be highly shy and come saying that they do not want to be a burden.

2. They follow a set genre of the puppeters preference.

3. They have random knowledge of how to effeciently post in blogs when they claim they are brand new. I.E. If I was a new user I would make a new post instead of replying to this post. Sockpuppets tend to miss that.

4. Finally and this one makes me laugh. They are supposedly related to a user or are a friend from school. Now this may be true but the lag in the conversation between the sock puppet and the puppeter is laggy and can be seen easily.

I can give you a list as to who made sockpuppets but I will keep that to myself.
