What does vest mean?

In QQ group or various forums, I often hear netizens say that they should change their vests. Does this vest mean a kind of clothing or something else? Let's get to know each other.

Short answer vest means that when a person registers multiple IDs in the same forum and uses them at the same time, the commonly used ID is generally called the main ID, and the other IDs are called vests.

In order to make people who know you can't guess, another name registered besides the common user name is called wearing a vest. The general forum explicitly prohibits the use of vests to make trouble. Privileged classes such as administrators can find your IP and seal it, but if you are a dynamic IP or use a proxy, it is difficult to seal it. "Double body" is one of its extended meanings.

Based on the virtual nature of the network and the multifaceted nature of people, vest is a common and inevitable phenomenon in the network virtual society. The existence of vest makes the network closer to human nature and more attractive than the real society.

From Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan's essay "The Hour Worker" in 2000: "Don't think that you don't know you when you wear a vest." This mediocre work, which was originally lost in jokes, became the mantra of many people with the actions of Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan on the stage.

It is also said that the word vest comes from the red vest worn by traders in the stock exchange, because most traders serve other major shareholders, that is, they are trading puppets of shareholders, so vest is later used to describe the double id on the forum.

Exposure vest: refers to the vest whose main ID is known to most ordinary netizens. Exposure vest can be divided into active exposure vest and passive exposure vest. The former is a voluntary declaration of the main ID, for example, because the main ID was stolen, blocked, forgotten the password or simply for entertainment, a new vest collar was registered; Most of the latter were improperly used, and the vests were worn out. They were discovered by netizens and had to admit or acquiesce.
