Persistent disruptive edits at page MCC for the addition of the same school, a lot of new accounts editing the page and also new page creations also for the same school. Requesting CheckUser, since there are too many accounts consistently making disruptions. -★- PlyrStar93. → Message me. 🖉← 04:42, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Time to spam some diffs here:

Also adding some, if not all, accounts who did the new page spam. Accounts who edited MCC but also created new pages are not included here for now. -★- PlyrStar93. → Message me. 🖉← 05:00, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

And spam some edit filter logs for these new page creations:
 * 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19

There may be one account or so unrelated, since these accounts are grabbed from my CSD log. -★- PlyrStar93. → Message me. 🖉← 05:32, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Also a crapload of these new accounts creating pages for themselves in article-space, announcing their presence/identity as students at this school (Mulund College of Commerce, which is also being targetted). Maybe a school project off to a horrible start? I hope this academic year will involve less administrative time-waste for such nonsense than last... DMacks (talk) 04:53, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Another pile of accounts making the same user-page and Mulund College of Commerce edits as previous ones. Is there any underlying IP that can be blocked? User:Raman Jangam reports being caught in an autoblock of User:Sahil D21, who is a previously blocked sock in this same drawer. I started blocking a whole pile before I realized how a pile it was (see for more). Do clerks/CUs have any tools to automate this process? DMacks (talk) 19:02, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I eventually semi'ed Mulund College of Commerce; more socks promptly appeared to carry on at MCC. According to their edits, this is part of a class (I rev-del'ed their posting of personal academic ID numbers). DMacks (talk) 03:41, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * - To check for sleepers and underlying, blockable IPs. Thanks, GABgab 19:10, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Not much a CU can do here. The IPs are all geolocating to the same area but they are on many different networks and blocking is not practical.
