No, he always labels his socks as puppets of Ravage101. At the time I wrote that, he was wasn't blocked. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 13:59, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * He wasn't blocked at the time, but NawlinWiki modified AbuseFilter 260 to disallow any edits containing the string "Editor XXV" if they were made by non-autoconfirmed users. My guess is he's trying to bypass the filter.
 * Also, do you believe that stuff about him having a "good hand" account as well as 20 blocked socks? --Decepticon Shockwave, signing off. (talk) (contributions) 14:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Really? Why is the filter doing that? And no, I don't think I do really believe it. Can't be much of an editor if he does, though. I mean, I've thought about vandalism before but only in the "here's how to do it with some imagination, rather than mindless swear words dotted around an article" way but I've never and will never actually do it. Plus, there's always the risk that someone will one day link the two of them together and get his "good" account banned. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 14:06, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ask NawlinWiki. He's the one who made the filter do that. I've been busy re-tagging some of his socks.
 * Anyway, the risk is always there. Didn't stop User:172, did it? --Decepticon Shockwave, signing off. (talk) (contributions) 14:08, 21 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I modified the filter because the only non-autoconfirmed users typing that string are almost certainly sockpuppets -- once that edit shows up on the edit filter log, the user can be blocked before doing other damage. I'm going to leave it that way unless you can think of a good reason for me to change it.  NawlinWiki (talk) 00:29, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Not at all, I was simply curious. I will say that, for a while, admins should probably check out that filter constantly, say, every five minutes. I seem to have to do a lot of damage control when it comes to that user. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 00:33, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, bugger, I missed the sock again. That'll teach me to write poetry to my girlfriend... -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 17:56, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It wasn't much fun this time round. He wasn't edit-warring on his talk page, and some guy with Huggle got in the way while I was trying to report him to AIV. Then he got blocked. --Decepticon Shockwave, signing off. (talk) (contributions) 18:14, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
