I'm not human stopped editing April 30, JX3P picks up on May 1. Both insist on redirecting their talkpage to their userpage; JX3P [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AI'm_not_human&diff=553452680&oldid=519724824 now edits I'm not human's redirect]. Unlikely for one user to know about the shared habit unless they're the same person. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 07:49, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Lol. So the only evidence is that I stop editing (mainly because I don't see anything that needs editing?!) and the next day someone else starts editing. That's bollocks. I also resent the allegation and suggest that the user who suggested it can go, ah, take a break from the Internet, and should stop smoking so much weed (it's making them paranoid). In reference to digital currency, you'll notice that my main interests are in keeping the fact that they might be scams (or otherwise dangerous) listed and also (on the talk page) making sure that references exist, and that notability is established. I think that quick and easy allegations should not be made, and that a little bit more evidence should be had before they are made should be had. I look forward to an apology from Seb az86556. &#42;*** you, you ******* ****. (talk) 14:32, 4 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The suspected sockmaster has admitted to using socks: 1. A Checkuser seems warranted just to confirm he isn't vandalizing the article. Since he mentioned weed in the same fashion as the vandal, suspicion is reasonable. --KyleLandas (talk) 07:27, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The suspected sockmaster has admitted to using sarcasm (oh noz!!!111!!!11oneone!!). (Moreover, as noted in that edit, using sockpuppets is not illegal anyway.) Oh, and I mentioned weed. You'll notice that we live in a world where lots of people have access to, and use marijuana (aka weed). Why not do a check user of the vandal? I'm not the vandal, so what's it go to do with me? Oh, you've got some "evidence". Well I don't appreciate that people are so insistent that I have my privacy invaded based on some minor and inconsequential evidence. In fact, if this does go ahead, I'll probably just stop editing. After, you know, saying to all involved, you bunch of stupid fuckers who don't realise that Wikipedia's best resource is the editors. And driving them away is not the best way to make a good encyclopedia.
 * But wait, it occurs to me that maybe that's what y'all are trying to do. After all, I'm a thorn in your side. You want to push the legitimacy of a bunch of scam currencies, and I'm basically, saying, "no, these are all likely to be scams, and there should be a warning to that effect". And that gets you all butthurtz.
 * Where can I go and request a checkuser against all the users involved in the digital currencies article, and all the associated IP addresses that have been removing the safety/criticism section? That seems like as much evidence as you people have. &#42;*** you, you ******* ****. (talk) 11:03, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Well, OK, what's the abuse? T. Canens (talk) 08:03, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I came across this since the sock is reported for vandalism on Digital currency also edited by the master. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 08:10, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Although both are interested in Digital currency, the behavior looks nothing alike; the dates are probably just a coincidence. They also aren't really trying to evade anything, except for the possibility of good hand, bad hand accounts, but that's not particularly likely given the evidence we have at the moment.

 * Closed. These two users are clearly unrelated. However, if you think IP logging violates your privacy, you need to stop using the internet because nearly every website has a ToS that states that they can keep logs of your IPs indefinitely. Reaper Eternal (talk) 11:41, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
