Pretty prolific troll who likes to impersonate users and has a potty mouth. One of their favorite targets is, as is obvious from a bunch of silly sock names. They like to mess with them and with (really, Freeatlast? Pig urine? That's a bad habit, man!). IPv6s geolocate to Czech, but who knows. I doubt that Kitkat is the first account, by the way. Perhaps one of you clever CUs can dig up more. Drmies (talk) 01:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: Admins ( & ), you might want to merge this with this (Sockpuppet investigations/CosmicEmperor), known to use proxied IPs, not much of an evidence though because these accounts are only created to send people notifications through "Thank" link. Mostly created whenever someone messed up with any of his socks.  Sh eri ff  |  ☎ 911  | 12:54, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

 * This is pretty much a waste of time. With very tiny exceptions, all the accounts are using different IPs in different ranges. They have one favorite server company, but they use different ranges from within that company. Every one of the IPs is crap, whether it be a proxy server, a webhost, a tor exit node, whatever - they are as polluted as the account names. These accounts should be easy enough to spot, and they should just be blocked when we see them. Of course, the master is wrong as there are older, including stale, accounts, but I really don't know how much that matters, either. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:57, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks . I figured it'd be something like that but I appreciate your having looked into it, and I'm sure you understand this is also "for the record". FWIW, this person has also been sending out some harassing emails; a real piece of work. Drmies (talk) 15:37, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
