ArbCom 2018 election voter message

 * I'll leave it to a CheckUser to evaluate this request and will just note that firstly, the tool does more than just compare IP addresses, and secondly, for privacy reasons logs are not kept for ten years. There's no way to tell who used what IP address back in 2009. Huon (talk) 21:35, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * CU data is retained for 90 days. However, CU logs are available "forever". Thus, for example, if an account was checked nine years ago, it's possible to know what IPs were used (I say "possible" because sometimes the logs aren't always clear). However, the rest of the data is unavailable. Sometimes the log IPs can be helpful, sometimes not. The biggest problem with FosterHaven, though, is not technical, which is compelling, not just to Tyciol but to more recently blocked non-stale socks where I had all the data available to me. FH's behavior has some minor similarities, but mostly it's quite different. I'm not an expert, though, on Tyciol, and it would be helpful if someone more knowledgeable could review FH's behavior and tell me what they think.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:17, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Looking back at my recent contributions, it seems I was undoing edits too often. I'm wondering if that was a factor in this, because if so I'll try to avoid it from now on. -FosterHaven (talk) 09:37, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
