Egg Centric suddenly started making a number of very inappropriate edits (namely, but also , , , etc.) I blocked, thinking that the account had been compromised. The user replied to say s/he had emailed me to explain the whole matter, and later explained on his/her own talk page with this reply, which hardly cleared things up.

The two suspected sockpuppets listed above interacted with this user here and here, right around the time this whole mess began. The whole thing smells pretty fishy, particularly with the first edit provided above. – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 23:14, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I feel I should note that, shortly before I noticed Egg Centric's editing pattern take a 180, I noticed another user who appeared to have been compromised. Might it be possible that whoever compromised Egg Centric also compromised this user? — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 00:53, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 * - Check the account, vandal who seems to be socking more or comprimising accounts. Attacks on same users. We might want to block these guys before the CU results too for disruption. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  23:59, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Odd stuff. But Egg Centric does not appear to be compromised, just as he said. IP vandal shows no relation to anyone. USAMA BIN AMIR is not directly related to anyone else either (he came to Egg Centric following ), but a block may be in order here in any case: Can't interpret all his edits, but the ones I understand are all vandalistic.TBH I'm not going to invest too much time here. If Egg Centric wants to play games he should do it somewhere else. Amalthea  10:01, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * With the IP blocked, The main account unblocked (see TP) and taking the second account to AIV if more issues present, I think were done. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  20:49, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
