Suspected sockpuppets

"Brand new" account starts off by responded to a comment that I clearly addressed to Sauve.sean as if he was Sauve.sean (which Sauve.sean reposted as if nothing had happened) before "retiring". Now, if the user's previous behavior had been reasonable enough (it hasn't been), I'd ignore this. If the user's behavior wasn't an apparent continuation of the same mission that had gotten them blocked before (nope! just more dishonesty), I'd ignore this. I know this isn't the place for anything like content disputes, I just want it on the record that it's obvious Lanybaggins is a sock of Sauve.sean, because his behavior at the fascism article and talk page has been tendentious and part of the problem appears to be that he doesn't seem to get that all user actions are recorded. Happy New Year, folks. Ian.thomson (talk) 09:04, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Obvious abuse of multiple accounts. Sock indef, master blocked for two weeks.  Acroterion   (talk)   12:48, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on their unblock request a checkuser for more accounts would be a good idea, I'd be surprised if these are the only two.   Acroterion   (talk)   13:09, 4 January 2017 (UTC)


 * - As per Acroterion - there's a good chance this is linked to an older master. Thanks, GABgab 16:49, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

 * ✅, but these are the only two. I can make a distant connection of one of the underlying IPs to Sockpuppet investigations/Light current but obviously the behavior doesn't match up, and Light current would have used this account to sock way, way before now. I'll leave this open in case anyone wants to delve in deeper. Katietalk 17:24, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * As you note, behavior doesn't match at all. While serial vandals can presumably run good hand/bad hand accounts like anyone else, I don't think LC could have played it straight.  Acroterion   (talk)   02:57, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
