Probably closer to meat but both have significant overlapping interest i stations and have repeatedly removed AfD's from creations by the master. Only interests are the same as the others. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  20:49, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

 * I opened a three-page deletion nomination at Articles for deletion/KVSJ (AM) this morning, under the rationale that KVSJ, KQVN and Hot 923 The Beat do not meet WP:BROADCAST as radio stations operating under the FCC's Part 15 regulations, which means they are unlicensed. Since then, the original account has disrupted the AfD by removing deletion tags and reverting to their preferred version, then Shaunlovesradio2017 continued on by moving the pages several times and adding db-author tags even if they did not originate the article, along with a profane outburst. This makes me think that this might be the originator's 'screw around' account and this needs to be checked whether or not this is true.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:30, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Whoops, I guess Chrissy beat me to this (thanks!). But this adds evidence of disruption at least.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:31, 2 February 2018 (UTC) Merged from a duplicate filing. GABgab 15:39, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Incredibly obvious duck of their past sock, who was sock-blocked along with an IP after an ANI report regarding MLX's complete WP:IDHT of their editing issues; return of same edits on KHTI, KBIG and on X1039. per their request to if this continued.

Do I even have to have a long explanation? Duck. Same articles as usual. Just an extra X on their main name. Literally the only thing they have to do is explain their edits on their blocked account and they're good, but now they're past that, so thus we're here.

Duck of user's alternate naming patterns; and  previously blocked as a duck. Made good edits on KEGY (FM) and a switch in their format, but they still have yet to say one word on the main MLX account, so still coming here until they get the point.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:51, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Recreated the fake station Hot 923 The Beat, which has already been AFD'ed in the past and will be speedied under that same argument, and returning their same edits to LA radio articles.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 19:32, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

From a month ago so likely stale, but a duck of the Brennen naming pattern with the same usual edits to radio topics. Reporting to reset the WP:SO clock.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:40, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Yet another Brennen. Clearly they're not willing to wait out the 6 months on their main account for the SO; I think we're approaching a community ban at this point for their tenacity.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 03:37, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Their first edit to their user talk page is an unusual plea that they are not MLX with zero prompting...when a couple of MLX's suspected socks have started with "Double". Their edits have been LA radio station articles, as per usual. Once again, I have continued to support the WP:SO for MLX to come back within six months as long as they comment on their original account; if this is indeed them, this would be the first time they actually utilized a user page for any purpose.

 * - While I talk to another CU. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:08, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Based off of the CU log, these appear to share the same range and also have an overlap. They are to the previously blocked socks, who use a different range, but given the behavioural overlap and CU log entry, I'm comfortable blocking on behaviour as a regular admin block reviewable by any admin. .
