Suspected sockpuppets

I was using the wikipedia discord when the user tripppled#6884 under the nickname "otopnr.3". They were discussing about the video game pages they’ve created. I checked the edit history of the page List of Sega arcade games which they edited. There was a user called "Tripple-ddd” who was blocked for sockpuppetry/block evasion. I have a screenshot of the discord which I uploaded to commons here (Please note this is my first time reporting someone.) Sahaib3005 (talk) 12:31, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

 * *Sigh* I'll come out clean then so I don't stress out about this. I actually didn't sockpuppet on purpose. Suddenly, just like that, I was able to make a new account no problem, and I did not intentionally do any IP change. I really don't know why honestly I wasn't blocked anymore. I actually did talk to at first (here), and talked about how I was unblocked on April 1st since that is what I assumed at first, since I can not correctly remember if I was blocked indefinitely or just for a certain time. Since I think I did contribute in a healthy way that was appreciated by the users, I would like to request a compromise - a timed ban, or whatever else you can think of. But PLEASE refrain from an indefinitely long ban...OtopNr.3 (talk) 17:36, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Oof. Collaborating the reported evidence, this is indeed the case that OtopNr.3 is now identifying themselves as "tripppled". may also be able to help with behaviorial evidence. The interaction report is pretty obvious though. -- ferret (talk) 15:12, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * What ferret said - it's clear enough even without my commentary, but looking if their edits, it's the same sort of edits on the same sort of content areas. It's most certainly him. Thank you for reporting this. Sergecross73   msg me  16:05, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * What you're describing is still "socking on purpose", it's more like "there was nothing in place keeping you from socking. We've gone over WP:STANDARDOFFER with you over many times over the years, and it sounds like you were discussing this pretty openly, so it's hard to feel sympathy here...

 * Sock was replying in the wrong section, but to finish out the explanation: You, the person known as Tripple-ddd, are blocked. Even if a technical block on your IP expires, or you move to a new IP that is not blocked through no fault of your own, it is YOU, the PERSON, who is blocked. Just because you manage to make a new account doesn't mean you are unblocked, just that your IP shifted, and the moment you make an edit either as an IP or a new account, you are block evading and the six month timer for STANDARD OFFER resets. -- ferret (talk) 20:18, 17 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Sock admits to being master, and is indef blocked. Tagging sock, closing.   Girth Summit  (blether)  09:50, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
