I would like to know who the puppet master is so that I can ignore the individual ICly.

Very often apparent puppets of a larger nation are a genuine n00b.

THis appears to be one of those cases.

It's been my experience that the Mods never reveal a nation's puppets, though they can certainly tell who controls which nation.

Oh I see, this is the Mod forum. :o

I'd thought that this was the Tech forum and Kahta was asking if anybody had any idea how to tell. :oops:

Well, certainly, there are ways to tell, and pretty easy ways if you have access to the back end of the forum (even if it's as limited as an "ip scan" button in the mod center or something). However, this is Salusa's turf, and I don't want to end up with a nation with a terminal population of 0 or something, so I'm gonna stop talking. :shock:

On a phpBB board, there's a little IP button next to every post for mods. All a mod has to do is click it and they find out the IP and who else has posted from that IP.
