Evidence submitted by Wjemather
All three users have edited a handful of seemingly random articles, prefixing external links with http:// link-redacted-by-spitfire-per-spam-filter /info.php?pid=25&url= They have then issued the last contributor with a rogue spam warning. This is clearly disruptive, and those responsible are obviously creating new accounts in order to avoid detection. I think a full investigation and block of the underlying ip is required. wjemather bigissue 17:17, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

 * How odd. These accounts have all been blocked as spam accounts. I think a sleeper check would be a good idea. TN X Man  17:43, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I've pointed Sockpuppet investigations/Septapuncher to this page, please correct me if I've done something wrong. TN X Man  18:21, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

for a sleeper checker, please. All fit the same MO, seems plausible that there are more accounts out there. May be worth an admin taking a quick browse through the log for abuse filter 80. SpitfireTally-ho! 18:13, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Any chance of a rangeblock? TN X Man  19:39, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I slapped an anonblock on 184.73.0.0/16 for a while; let's see what happens. --jpgordon:==( o ) 19:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * all these have been blocked and tagged, and the IP range has been blocked with account creation disabled. The link they were spamming also seems to have been blacklisted. I couldn't archive the page with the link still in existence! Closing, SpitfireTally-ho! 19:49, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
