As with the many previous incidents with registered sockpuppet accounts of this LTA, blocking of the new sock established yesterday should be immediate and permanent. As proof positive that this is yet another such wikistalking account created by Techwriter2B see the detailed explanation I posted yesterday here. This LTA has been engaging in disruptive editing, wikistalking, and a wide variety of other misconduct on Wikipedia including (but not limited to) vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, posting deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks, impersonation of other editors (including altering the posts of others to change the meanings thereof; posting comments to which he/she forges the signatures of others or doesn't sign at all), and repeated, blatant violations of neutral point of view policy since at least 2005 and has done so from at least 13 registered socks and almost 300 identified IP socks. As this is yet another crystal clear case of wikistalking by this LTA admin action should be taken without delay. Centpacrr (talk) 10:42, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I guess it is okay for now. Last time I checked (s)he was not blocked -- Ushau97 talk 15:32, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * This particular issue with Techwriter2B was basically resolved when the new registered sock account was blocked as Block Evasion (quack). Unfortunately, however, there seems to be no practical way to block him/her from using dynamically accessed IPs of which more than 300 have been positively identified although there are probably many more. This LTA has been engaging in these disruptive various behaviors on WP since at least 2005, but as there are literally tens or hundreds of thousands of dynamic IPs that he/she can still access about the only thing that can be done is to be vigilant and call this noisome LTA out whenever he/she periodically resurfaces. As can be seen at Long-term_abuse/Techwriter2B page, the LTA repeats the same well documented disruptive behaviors again and again and is thus quite easy for those familiar with them to spot and thus stop and repair the damage he/she does relatively quickly and completely.

What, exactly, are you hoping to find by having a CU done here? is already indef-blocked, and a CU on an IP address generally can't be done because of privacy issues. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 14:28, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
