 * Suspected sockpuppets

Behavioural. 60 IP was blocked for a week for 3RR violation, and suddenly the sockmaster re-appears with the same conduct on the talk page of Northern Football League (Australia). He did this previously on the same talk page and has edited no other page. With the block of the IP it is of interest that the sockmaster was able to post so soon, but it's possible that we have a modem reboot here to avoid the block. The 60 IP resolves to TPG. If we have a match on the checkuser on provider that may well be enough to prove sock puppetry to avoid a block. Footy Freak7 (talk) 05:18, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

 * - Per the privacy policy, we as CheckUsers are not permitted to link named accounts to IP addresses in situations such as this. This case will need to be reviewed based on behavioral evidence alone. Tiptoety  talk 05:58, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I have blocked for rather obvious block evasion, and set it to expire at the same time that the IP block does. I should note that CheckUser was not used.  Tiptoety  talk 17:51, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
