The first edit of BJ Haregad after the blocking of Bucktony was to undo an edit where Bucktony blanked his talk page. BJ also seems to like editing articles related to racial slurs, much like Bucktony. BJ also has a very similar grammer style to Bucktony as evident by their talk page edits.

 * , who filed this report, has now been blocked for making racist personal attacks. I'm not sure if this is a bad-faith report or if there is some connection between the reported and one/both of the reported accounts. —C.Fred (talk) 21:28, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I will repost what I wrote at User talk:LostInRiverview (Who at the time of this writing I have also blocked for sockpuppetry; I suspect that these accounts are related): This user is impersonating LostInRiverview, an administrator on The Sims Wiki. I have blocked this user based on this user's edits (Said user was identified as a sockpuppet on The Sims Wiki) being similar to the ones made here using this account. I can provide more information upon request. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 21:32, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm listing a few duck usernames here - Bucktony II and Fat Tony Buckley. They are both editing SimSafari in a short period of time: 1, 2. Bucktony II is indef'ed already.

Bucktony and Time 4 Revenge both edited Ching chong during these two weeks or so: 1, 2. Time 4 Revenge also edited Bucktony's user page tagging an (incorrect) G5 CSD: 3.

The user pages of these accounts (including from archive) look kind of similar - different texts, but all are just 1 or 2 sentences that don't really have much meaning for user pages. There might be more accounts than I currently listed here, so requesting CheckUser. -★- PlyrStar93. → Message me. ← 17:23, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm adding two more accounts for now, as they basically registered just for disrupting this SPI: 1, 2. Also C.Syde66 redirects their user and user talk page to C.Syde65 and their talk page, might be an impersonation: 3. -★- PlyrStar93. → Message me. ← 17:32, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm not really an accused party since I was never accused of doing these actions. But yeah, redirecting their user-pages to my user-page is completely unacceptable, given that they are impersonating me, and that they are not the same user as me. On top of that they know full well that they are forbidden to impersonate me or indeed anyone else. So yeah, I hope this situation has been dealt with, and if it hasn't, I hope it will be dealt with shortly! :D ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 21:30, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

I am innocent. My name means Tony Montana Bucks but I Left out Montana hence just Tony Bucks. Any simularity to Bucktony Is Coincidential. --Tony Bucks (talk) 18:32, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Even if technically connected, SK Mallick and Bucktony are behaviourally very different. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the CU result turned out to be a false positive. Either way, it's probably better to keep the two cases separate. Tagging and closing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:05, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Gpod Joe has very similar interests to Bucktony, with particular attention to the editing of articles related to Sim games and racial slurs. He also had used a racial slur in an edit summary on Kofi Annan which was later removed and also consistent with the other accounts. Also note on his userpage his writing style of the first letter of every word being capitalised, also a Bucktony trait. I am requesting a check for sleeper search as he has not been seen for a while.
