User:Redban (account created in end of 2014) has been blocked (18 December 2014, for ia too many applications for AfD, especially pornographic articles) with an expiry time of indefinite. Exactly the same day other new user user:Раціональне анархіст (also account created in end of 2014) started a lot of editing in AfD, for example:. And also user:Раціональне анархіст (aka Pax) with the same behavior - mass create AfD pages for delete pornographic articles, which resulted a ban (ban on nominating articles for deletion and topic ban - pages "about or related to pornography"), thorough analysis, the opinions of others, and the evidence is here. In the meantime, several other puppets created, for example: User:T&Tdad (blocked), User:BBnumber1 (blocked), User:Percentagesign (blocked) and IP - 108.41.160.197. User:Macreep is new account created in 12 January 2015, has a few editing... and again, create AfD pages for pornographic article. In this AfD page, voted and lead discuss - of course - user:Раціональне анархіст (aka Pax), previously Redban also edit and did not like this article. Behavior of Redban (sockmaster) and confirmed and blocked sockpuppets: User:T&Tdad, User:BBnumber1, User:Percentagesign and suspected sockpuppets: User:Раціональне анархіст (aka Pax), User:Macreep are very similar. Several other users notice the same behavior between these accounts. Subtropical -man  talk   (en-2)   17:39, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Comments by other users
User:Rebecca1990's quote from 3 January 2015: Раціональне анархіст is most likely Redban, a recently blocked user. Their behavior is identical:
 * 1. Redban started 15 AfD's all at once and now Раціональне анархіст has started 10 AfD's all at once (WP:P*/D).
 * 2. Most AfD's started by both Redban and Раціональне анархіст pass WP:PORNBIO (WP:P*/D).
 * 3. Both Redban and Раціональне анархіст have asked to have the AVN Hall of Fame inductions removed from PORNBIO even though there is absolutely no controversy whatsoever over this criteria.
 * 4. Both of them have complained about the amount of people inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame. Rebecca1990 (talk) 20:26, 3 January 2015 (UTC)Quote-left-cs.svg
