User names are very similar, on Karl Darlow, vandalism includes 'more commonly known as Karlow' and this looks like block evasion. However, these may not be the sockmaster, requesting CU on who the sockmaster is. Cheers, Iggy (talk) 21:11, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Following the steps on the page notice, I know that:- 1. There are four known accounts doing the same type of vandalism - Darlowfan43, Darlowfan44, Ezdarlow and now Darlowfan33. 2. They are abusively used the same way as each other in the technique of block evasion. 3. I now think the sockmaster is Darlowfan43, not 44 which probably says CheckUser is not needed (I think they are probably linked to each other anyway). 4. I can provide you the diffs they have made - Darlowfan43, Darlowfan44, Ezdarlow and Darlowfan33 today. Additionally, Darlowfan44 has made edits to other pages replacing content with Karl Darlow vandalism.

That would be enough for Darlowfan33 to be blocked for vandalism only and a sockpuppet. Iggy (talk) 22:28, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
