Shortly after he had created the account Betacross, it was blocked for being a sockpuppet, and during the block he stated that all of his accounts had been blocked due to an autoblock. He made this edit, connecting his account to another indef blocked account, which was itself a sock of another account. This leads me to believe he is using other alternate accounts inappropriately. — Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 06:20, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

 * User:Betacross doesn't exist: evidently this was intended to refer to User:BetaCross. Other than that, this is a straight DUCK case. All the accounts mentioned above are already indefinitely blocked except for CurtMcArdle, and I will block that one. However, in view of his comment referring to "blocking all of my accounts" (meaning that they had been autoblocked), it seems likely that he has recently tried to edit with other accounts, so a checkuser would be helpful. What a pity that I lifted the autoblock in response to an unblock request. JamesBWatson (talk) 07:52, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I don't see any other accounts that I can positively connect to this user. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:27, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. In that case, there is nothing more to be done. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:04, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

The IP in question was the one to originally post links to CurtMcArdle's blog (see ). After he vandalized a few user talk pages tonight, he obviously created RylonSucksPeen. I know that checkusers no longer confirm IPs, but if the evidence says so can we at least block the IP for a while to prevent further disruption just because I told this guy he can't put his blog as a reliable source? — Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 19:28, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

It would seem that the original sock's name has been suppressed into non-existence, but he made a second.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 19:42, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Okay every single sock has been renamed/suppressed to where there's no data.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 03:20, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

When did the checkuser policy change such that IPs cannot be confirmed to be connected to problematic users?— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 19:23, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
