Strange, stilted machine-writing language, obsession with the Signpost, similar content (Lacaidonian). – Train2104 (t • c) 19:16, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Requesting CheckUser, in light of the comments here. This appears to be part of a larger sockfarm, that also contains CU-blocked and, master unknown.  would know but she's inactive. Also, all these sockpuppets need TPA revoked. – Train2104 (t • c) 19:21, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Found a possible case: Sockpuppet investigations/Fixer88. But the relationship between the listed master and the socks is unclear, and the master was unblocked by ArbCom. Expert attention needed. – Train2104 (t • c) 19:33, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Some of the socks have Meta/cross-wiki contributions, locking may be needed. – Train2104 (t • c) 19:26, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

 * These accounts are ✅ to each other:




 * and are ✅ from this group, but the recent behavior doesn't match, and there are some other technical details about Fixer88 that distinguish it from the others. I'm not inclined to block Fixer88 right now pending a more thorough investigation.
 * Tokayeweu is.
 * I've blocked the only other account that wasn't previously blocked (Cdoesyouth), so there's no rush here. I've also revoked TPA where appropriate. Would you take a look here at Fixer88? Katietalk 14:27, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "take a look"? Check the account? Do we have enough new behavioral evidence in your view to recheck the account? Not that Fixer88 is immune just because ArbCom chose to unblock him in 2016, but I would be loath to check without a good reason.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:37, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I need a second opinion on the totality of Fixer88's technical evidence. I don't know if he's the master or if it's a bad coincidence, and yes, there's a good reason. Katietalk 19:48, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll check now, but some, if not all, of what I find may need to be handled privately. I'll keep you posted.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:25, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * After discussion with Bbb23, we're of the opinion that Fixer88 is ❌. Please retag all these socks to the oldest listed account, which I think is Metlifecc. We're tainting Fixer88 unnecessarily here and we need to stop it. Katietalk 22:05, 22 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Case moved. Retagging and closing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:32, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
