Block evasion. User:DobryDamour requested that I unblock the vandalism-only account out of consideration for a student participating in the USEP. The only communication we have had with this class has been through DobryDamour. I suggested that the instructor/professor needed to address the vandalism with the student/blocked user, the blocked user needed to review the instructions for appealing a block, and that the blocked user needed to make his own appeal in accordance with the guidelines, rather than communicate through another editor. No response, outside of creation of the new account and DobryDamour replacing the User:Advertise1111 name on the list of students with User:AdvertiseEditor. Additionally requesting CheckUser on the User:DobryDamour account. Cind.  amuse  (Cindy) 02:06, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

 * - They're clearly the same, so a CU is unnecessary. The thing is, the master was blocked as a VoA; the sock, by comparison, seems to be making a genuine attempt to follow the rules. I'm inclined to assume good faith and not block, but I'd like to hear from other people. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:01, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * We should AGF for now. If there's problems with either of the accounts, DobryDamour or AdvertiseEditor, then we can handle it then. Elockid  ( Talk ) 00:00, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd like to point out that this all seems to be part of United States Education Program. DobryDamour being the instructor (whose name in real life is apparently Chad Tew) and Advertise1111/AdvertiseEditor being one of the students. That doesn't mean we give everyone in that project a free pass, but I don't think that there's any sockpuppetry, they're pretty open about what they're doing. I'm going to close this as a misunderstanding, and let AdvertiseEditor continue with this new account as HelloAnnyong suggests. --  At am a  頭 01:10, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
