 * Suspected sockpuppets

"OFA99" was created two minutes prior to !voting at an AfD - their only contribution  - started by Taseriouslyta, who created their account one minute before starting the AfD, which is their only editing history. The smell of sock is extremely strong here, with OFA99 already blocked accordingly - but there's still sock smell around this. Given the "instant AfD after account creation" here, and the username chosen for the sock, I'm wondering if (bearing in mind it's not for fishing) a CU might be valid, as there seems to be something a bit deeper at play perhaps.

 * That's bizarre. Still obviously a sock of somebody so "OFA99" left blocked per the behavioral evidence; might want to keep an eye on the article in question to see if anything turns up in the future. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:11, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
