 * Suspected sockpuppets

User:BotmasterLabs has received numerous warnings for addition of promotional material/spam links to article XRumer, an article which has long suffered from spam. Another user, User:Bl00dsh0t6, has not received any warnings, but makes similar edits to those of User:BotmasterLabs, and heavily endorses User:BotmasterLabs's positions on the talk page of XRumer. Furthermore, both users, despite having made a minimal number of edits to the project (all within a very brief period of time), appear to be well acquainted with Wikipedia policy and Wiki-code/syntax. Looking through the history of the article (in which other 'new' users make similar edits to the aforementioned users), I am led to believe that there may very well be other sockpuppets and/or sleeper socks. -  F ASTILY  (TALK) 20:39, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi :) I'm not the user BotmasterLabs. On the talk page I reverted one of his edits where the user removed a comment that was negative towards his promoted site. Another editor mistakenly put my name in the revertion which he already corrected on the discussion page. The user BotmasterLabs is of the opinion his/her promoted website is official. I have no position in this and think the article should contain no external links whatsoever. There've been numerous abusive external link inserts in the past and felt compelled to protect the article from them, and could not let the bureaucracy inherent to Wikipedia favor the villains. I take full responsibility, punish me as you see fit. Bl00dsh0t6 (talk) 21:16, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm one of developers of XRumer program and i have already several clients who where scammed by person who owns site which where added to description of OUR legal product developed by European Company and is a Licensed software as official, but for real it was just a site of scammers, at beginning if u'll see it was added as xrumer.co, now it was added as xrumerlabs.com, which is actually a mirror of first one, but bot shites are sites of same scammer! And i've changed that link to link of Official Developer of XRumer which is http://www.Botmasterlabs.net, i've made it not for promoting of my site (believe me i don't need it,) I've made it for preventing future scamms of my clients! Some of those scammed clients where redirected to that scammer site via WIKIPEDIA! they so this article and saw that link and they thought it was a real site! So as a solution or delete all links from that article and close that topic for editing! or Add REAL link to REAL official site and also close that topic for editing, for preventing future usage of wikipedia as a mechanism of scamming people!BotmasterLabs (talk) 21:23, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Shortly after the sockmaster was blocked indef by NinjaRobotPirate, a new IP, 203.69.105.2, and a new user, GraphonMan, has suddenly come up to repeat the edits similar to the sockmaster and the previous IP, 213.231.2.140. Clearly a duck and should be blocked as normal, though I would also consider applying semi or pending changes protection to an already spammed article, XRumer as well. theinstantmatrix (talk) 11:01, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
