 * Suspected sockpuppets

This user shows up out of nowhere and starts defending the suspected sock master, who was previously blocked today, for a day.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  22:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

As further evidence, as the accused suspected sock master claimed there was none, I shall now outline what specifically worries me:


 * Caden Blocked on May 19th, 18:03
 * User Corpiestre, created on May 19th, 21:58(roughly four hours after Caden was blocked)
 * User account Corpiestre proceeds, to assault editors and admins who have had some contact with Caden, as seen here, here, here, here, here, and here.

Those are actually all of the user's only contributions, ones made in the defense of Caden. Although CU has already been endorsed, I wish to state again that this could be a case such as Axemann8's where the user's quacking socks were found to not be his.

I'll state this again, Caden, as I know you're reading this. This report was never meant to insult you, so you should stop assuming such bad faith, it was made per the evidence above, period. Nothing more, nothing less. So stop reading so far into everything and assuming everything is an insult, because it isn't.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  02:40, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Anything's possible, but I doubt that this is Caden. A user coming from nowhere and appearing to support a blocked user has happened elsewhere recently. A few weeks ago, after User:Axmann8 was indef'd, a series of apparent socks, using variations on "Ax-man-8", started appearing and causing trouble, triggering a (temporary) consensus for a permanent ban. Checkuser found that none of them were related, so the ban was lifted, although of course he remains indef'd. The puppetmaster in that case was not identified. I wonder if it's the same puppetmaster that appears to be trying to implicate Caden here. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 02:32, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Add the possible related socks if you remember any, BB. Eg, assuming this sock isn't related to Caden, but related to the socks you note.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  02:42, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

CU is required as the block, or extention thereof, rests on these CU findings, in that, his block may remain the same, assuming this is just some random vandal that appears to have taken interest in him(I don't think this is likely, too many things don't add up), but to the point, if this suspected sock, is found to be a sock, further action needs to be taken in regards to the master account.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  22:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
 * ❌, as far as the IPs are concerned. Corpiestre is connected to another banned editor -- I'm pretty certain he's a sock of User:Pioneercourthouse. But Caden looks completely different, as far as Checkuser is concerned. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 02:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * So not much to do here, then. Closing the case.  —  Jake   Wartenberg  03:52, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
