 * Just a note that I ran a check. Machielsen has used 40 different IPs, none of which overlap with Mudtoonz2012. I don't have time to thoroughly investigate something that complex so I'll leave this for another CU. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 21:17, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Machielsen is deliberately evading CU using methods we essentially only ever see used by bad faith actors. Their technical relationship to Mudtoonz2012 is inconclusive; I think MEAT is more likely than outright sockpuppetry. Be that as it may, between likely illegitimate (direct or indirect) coordination, Open proxies, and WP:PROMO, there is sufficient basis for an indef., closing.  --Blablubbs (talk) 01:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
