This user was banned back in 2009 after a long history of vandalism culminated in one of his socks making making graphic death threats against President Obama. Well, today Safwwefereturns shows up and trolls on both my userpage (presumably because I'd indef'd him for his threats in 2009 while I was still an admin) and Steel's userpage. He claims to have more socks, so requesting a sweep to find them all. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 21:39, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

Here we go again. shows up on both my talkpage as well as those of Steel  and John Reaves  who have apparently crossed swords with him in the past. I'd take this just to ANI, but he mentions he has more socks--and considering this user was banned for threatening the president, there's no such thing as being too heavy-handed.

(sigh) Here we go again. Tuesday morning, Hangingcurvesucks, whom a duck test confirms is Safwwefe, trolls on my talk page. He was referring to the fact that I was the admin who indef'd him for his graphic threats against President Obama in 2009. Then this morning, Wrvbrktgifri leaves this lovely little message on my talkpage. While this too is a DUCK case, I suspect that given his past practice there are more sleepers lurking about, so requesting a sweep. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 14:48, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Just two minutes after creating his account, Blueboysucks trolls on my talkpage. Through this update, I believe he is a sockpuppet of banned user Safwwefe, whom I indefblocked and banned in 2009 for making graphic death threats against President Obama (ban discussion here. It looks very likely, based on behavior, that Safwwefe is also the sockmaster behind Darkstriker152 and the other SPAs who have trolled on my talkpage in the last month.  Requesting a full sweep to find any more socks.  If confirmed, the SPI for Darkstriker152 should be merged here. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 16:19, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

That is not true, and running another checkuser would not link me to Safwwefe. Blueboysucks (talk) 16:33, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Accounts are to Safwwefe but due to their habits it's hard to tell. If the behavioral evidence there it's certainly a possibility. That being said everyone is ✅ to each other. There are some other posible accounts but without behavior I think we should refrain from blocking them. I'll keep an eye on several accounts. NativeForeigner Talk 21:07, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

The harassment starts again. Just seconds after creating his account, Darkknight68 starts trolling on my talkpage. I'm certain that this is the same user as Darkstriker152, the sockmaster behind the accounts that trolled me a few months back. I also believe that both are socks of Safwwefe, who was banned in 2009 after a long history of trolling culminated in a graphic death threat against Barack Obama (ban discussion here). Requesting a full sweep. If confirmed the SPI for Darkstriker should be merged here. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 20:31, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

 * The following are all ✅ matches to one another. I agree that it is quite that Darkstriker152, et al, are Safwwefe.

Here we go again. Safwwefe, whom by his own admission is the sockmaster behind Darkstriker152 and his associated sock drawer, used a sleeper sock to troll on my talkpage. He is already blocked, but since he was able to get around the semi-protection of my talk page (he created his account on January 9), I'm requesting a sweep to find further socks and sleepers.

Yes, I am Safwwefe, and those are all my socks, I'll admin them now to save you guys trouble. Also, HangingCurve, I saw your comment "Just discovered this--apparently this happened while I was asleep. For those who don't know, this is actually Safwwefe (talk · contribs), who was banned in 2009 for a graphic death threat against President Obama. He's been trolling me for several months since I was the one who indef'd him when I was still an admin (I was Blueboy96 at the time). Thanks for this. And if you're reading this, Safwwefe, this is your only warning--if you try this again, I will have no choice but to take whatever means I deem necessary to protect myself, up to and including legal action. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 22:35, 13 January 2014 (UTC)" I didn't make any threats of violence, so I wouldn't have thought I violated any laws, but Alright, I'll promise not stop those immature behaviour right from now on. Please do not take legal action. Although I didn't face any legal consequence as a result of the Barack Obama edit, I did face legal consequence for an edit I made under another account two weeks after the Barack Obama edit (as User:Qwertylkjhgzxcvb, the edit has been deleted it seems). I definitely do not want to get into legal trouble again, and I had no serious intention whatsoever when I trolled on your talk page for the past few months. In summary, HangingCurve I will stop this nonsense (swearing on your talk) from now on, and please do not report me or take any legal actions. This will be my last sock.

(Sigh) Here we go again. Back in 2009, after a long history of trolling, Safwwefe was banned for making a graphic death threat against Barack Obama (ban discussion here). Earlier today, not two minutes after creating his account, HangingCurveThePussy trolls on my talkpage about a previous SPI going stale. . Two weeks ago, barely 20 minutes after creating his account, Darklight812 trolled on my talkpage about Safwwefe's latest sock being ixnayed. . There is only one explanation for this exceptional timing--Hangingcurvestinks and HangingCurveThePussy are Safwwefe's latest socks. Requesting a sweep--and if confirmed, I'd like an abuse report to be opened. He's been trolling me for the better part of a year, and to put it mildly I've had it.

 * HangingCurvestinks & Darkglow812 are ✅ to each other and HangingCurveThePussy is highly . Everything in the archive is stale however left over data says that they're editing from the same country as Safwwefe. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 13:35, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Tagging and closing as they're already blocked.
 * For what it's worth, is ✅ to the above. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 21:54, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Here we go again. Not two minutes after creating his account, Darkbowler332 trolls on my talk page about the latest SPI on this sockmaster. While it's demonstrably obvious that Darkbowler332 is a Safwwefe sock, I'm requesting a sweep in case there are sleepers lurking about. Also, I'm asking for an abuse report to be opened--clearly Safwwefe isn't getting the hint. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 17:30, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

(Sigh) Here we go again. Back in 2009, after a long history of trolling, Safwwefe was banned for making a graphic death threat against Barack Obama (ban discussion here). Yesterday, not two minutes after creating his account, Hangingcurvesucksass trolls on my talkpage. He was immediately blocked for using a blatantly inappropriate username. Then earlier today, Hangingcurvesucksass leaves a message on my talk page that was so outrageously obscene it was deleted by the blocking admin before the user was blocked. It's a near-certainty these are Safwwefe socks, but I'm requesting a sweep to find any sleepers. I'm also asking that a abuse report be filed against Safwwefe. To put it mildly, I've had it.

 * - To look for sleepers.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  15:34, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Checkuser comments: Yes, the two accounts berating HangingCurve are socks.  whether they are socks of the master, although behaviourally it is possible. Because of the threatening username of one of the accounts, the matter was drawn to the attention of emergency@wikimedia and addressed through that route. No other socks identified.  Risker (talk) 03:19, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Behaviorally, it seems very likely to me, so I've tagged the accounts as such. Mike V • Talk 00:38, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
