Figured it's about time we had an investigation page for this little farm of spambots, since they don't seem to be giving up. Requesting CU in case it's possible to rangeblock them (and to locate any iterations that I've missed). Modus operandi is the addition of spam text and links to the puppetmaster's userpage (which I could in theory salt, but leaving it open to recreation is an easy way to spot this user's new accounts).

 * I don't know how many of these are related, not that it really matters, but I blocked 33 linkspammers on two ranges these accounts were using. As busy as the ranges are, I'm sure that I missed some, unfortunately.
 * Two of the links that I saw frequently are whatisusa.info and www.xtools.co.uk, so someone may want to add them to the blacklist. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 17:30, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Similar username to previous socks (e.g. Marryjack125) and similar userpage spam. Requesting CU to pick up any other active accounts from this user, since they obviously still haven't given up. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  12:22, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
