 * Both users retired when their editing came under scrutiny by other editors
 * SSB -

 * The last two edits by TW3P implied that they either have or had previous accounts, and that they were previously editing as an IP, which was blocked "...my old ip is blocked by "spam",...". Blackmane (talk) 23:55, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Is there any mileage in looking for sleepers or maybe the underlying IP? Blackmane (talk) 00:23, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * At the time I checked, these were the only two accounts. —DoRD (talk) 00:27, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. Looks like we all missed your comment. If you could wrap this up, I'll post a note on the ANI. Blackmane (talk) 00:48, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Whoops. Yeah I figured you meant you looked through his history and were agreeing you thought they were the same, not that you actually had done a SPI. &#160; Discant X  01:47, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I already confirmed that these two accounts are the same at ANI yesterday. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 00:18, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know much about this case. Should somebody be blocked here or should this be closed? What I see is that SPIKE SPIKE BAD retired himself, and one minute later he started editing with a new account (Territory war 3 pwner).  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:34, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I was hoping that this would be handled at ANI, but no action has been taken there yet. There are no new accounts, so I'm inclined to leave this alone unless they show up again. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:57, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
