 * This is a longtime disruptive editor that we don't have a proper SPI or LTA page for, I'm filing this mostly so that we have a name for this person in the future. I'm also aware of a few named accounts that were being disruptive around the recent ArbCom case; all were throwaways and I don't like any of their names, so I'm going with Gustin Kelly! Courtesy ping to, , , - all of you have blocked and/or locked accounts related to this group. If you have other name ideas I'm all ears, otherwise clerks are good to close this in a day or so. No tags, please. GeneralNotability (talk) 22:33, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Noted. Also just noting that there's accounts going back at least half a year, but none of any real significance. It's also worth noting, if it's not already obvious, that this user is into harassment and other abuse. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:59, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Newly created account whose immediate interest was making the same complaint about user name of User:ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್_ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ, just like Gustin Kelly and various other socks listed in history at Requests for comment/User names. - David Biddulph (talk) 09:30, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for filing this. I too was preparing a report and we conflicted :)Socks of Gustin Kelly have been pestering me about my username at WP:RFCUN  . Now Postumberg has posted pretty much the same thing in WP:ANI . –ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 09:35, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

As documented in this SPI archive, Gustin Kelly's socks had hounded me about my username at WP:RFCUN before. Now they have taken to disrupting the ongoing Requests for adminship/Extraordinary Writ to try and blackmail me to change my username. Posting abuse in my talkpage. Harassing after they had revdel'd one these edits at RFA. Common behavior from previous accounts is to create a blank userpage and talkpage before beginning their disruption, in an apparent attempt to avoid scrutiny looking like a new user.

Today I got over 50 pings in various talkpages. They are all revdel'd but I can read them from email, they involve abuse against me and ScottishFinnishRadish. Note that, and  were mentioned as Gustin Kelly's socks in the previous SPI report but were not checked, so I have listed them here along with one more. was obviously created by evade Saterserge's block, can confirm.

In addition to the list above, there are at least two more accounts with suppressed usernames. All accounts are already blocked as normal admin blocks. Considering the amount of harassment I, ScottishFinnishRadish and probably others have been receiving, I am requesting that all these accounts be checked so that the IP range(s) involved can be hard blocked. The only IP I know to be from this sockmaster is 2405:204:5701:B7ED:0:0:F4A:A0AC, which was from reverting similar posts in a short interval. Pings to since they have dealt with some of these accounts. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 10:50, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry to see that you've been experiencing this harassment, Malnadach. I am guessing that all possible rangeblocks have been made here (CC Blablubbs), but I will tentatively mark this as (with the understanding that new checks may not be necessary), just so a checkuser can review.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 17:51, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * , but with respect to the case in general, I can say that the CU team is aware and taking appropriate measures; the overwhelming majority of these had been checked before this report was filed. Closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 17:56, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Tamzin @Blablubbs Do we want to tag these? Also, do these need to get re-blocked to remove TPA and email per the case notes? -- RoySmith (talk) 19:10, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I think tagging would be counterproductive. I wouldn't object to re-blocking but personally am not inclined to do so myself. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 19:15, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
