For example:

---==,--=.-.,=-==-----

What does that mean? I have seen that and its ilk in a few posts by new users. Is that a, you know, thing now?

And, I hesitate to ask--feel free to ignore--but who or what is Nortonn S?

Nortonn S is a suspended user.

The random punctuation is a trademark of his which he adds to sockpuppet posts. It's a reliable signpost and is helping my flag count — and probably that of others.

All of these "new users" are one person.

  • How come no-one blocks the IP he is using to post in your name?

    @mplungjan You may well ask! But I suspect that it's a dynamic IP address.

    As for what it means, it looks a bit like an ASCII alligator.

  • @MετάEd It bears a passing resemblence to Geek Code too, but I'm pretty sure that's not it.
