 * Suspected sockpuppets

--Banrockstation (talk) 16:13, 9 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Evidence submitted by Jayron32. talk . contribs


 * User:Platnuimblonde admits to rampant socking at his user talk page, see User talk:Platnuimblonde. Pledges to continue socking if other accounts are blocked.  I am requesting a checkuser to dig out underlying IP addresses for possible hardblock.  Refuses to use normal channels to deal with primary block.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  13:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Banrockstation added himself to this report above, not me. Not sure what that means, but either a) they are outting themselves or b) they are confused or c) they are being disruptive.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  17:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * CheckUser requests

User has indicated a determination to create more accounts to evade blocks. CU required to determine underlying IP, and to check for collateral damage. Mayalld (talk) 13:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Unsurprisingly is a ✅ match. Best guess is that this is a returning . I don't have a strong opinion regarding unblocking or not, but I do note Theoneintraining looks to have been around for about a year before running into any blocks, at which point a 48h block for incivility rapidly extended to indef, per block evasion and legal threats. If they've calmed down, since, is it worth considering another chance? –  Luna Santin  (talk) 20:48, 9 March 2009 (UTC)


 * If it is, and what you say is true, I would be prepared to unblock him on the standard recidivist sockpupetteer deal. 1) Abide by the initial block for a significant time (1 month or so is always a good time) by not creating any more socks and not editing for that time. 2) Come clean with your full list of socks.  If he can do those two things, I would unblock them, as I have done for others several times before.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  11:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

From an SPI process viewpoint, this is done and dusted. I'm moving to pending close. Will leave it there for 24 hours to allow anybody who feels so inclined to try to find an unblock solution. Mayalld (talk) 20:36, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Mayalld (talk) 20:37, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
