Not quite, Dustradiomovie was blocked for the username, not for spamming. While it's [ self-evident] that they are the same person, like you said, this is not abuse of multiple accounts: the user was encouraged to create a new account after all, there was no intent to deceive or disrupt. I have no opinion on whether the new account name is still improper. Amalthea 17:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmmm… well, he got a, which is for "spam and promotional username violation." Wouldn't that mean it was for both? Either way, I've changed the above description.


 * Given that User:Dustradiomovie created, that both names are equally promotional, and that the new account immediately went back to the same article, I think his behavior is out of line. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 23:58, 23 February 2012 (UTC)


 * No, I don't think there's enough reason to block here. The second account is clearly theirs, but one edit is not enough to block on. If the disruption continues, warn and report to AIV as normal. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:35, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
