 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Jayron32

User admits to maintaining a large sockfarm and bank of IP addresses which he intends to use to evade a block placed on his account, see. Both account and IP blocked, seeking checkuser to root out sock farm, to investigate a potential rangeblock, and to see if there are possible open proxies being used to evade the block which have not yet been blocked as open proxies.

Another IP added; user claims to have control of 19 hacked accounts including two admin accounts. Somehow I find this slightly doubtful. ~ mazca  talk 21:32, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

 * ✅ one sock that was already blocked: . I'll be looking into some IP blocks. Semiprot is looking tempting. Judging from WHOIS, edits from anons on 78.144.0.0 - 78.151.255.255 and 89.240.0.0 - 89.243.255.255 all have an ISP in common. – Luna Santin  (talk) 23:48, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
