Two recent examples of the person I call the Nowiki Vandal - inserts   tags on various admins' talkpages. This has been going on for some time, and I assume there's been a previous SPI, but don't know the sockmaster. Wagitte tagged a number of accounts as (see deleted user contribs), and I'm concerned that those might be part of a sockfarm.  Acroterion   (talk)   18:45, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
They are part of a sockfarm, but the range is so large that tracking/preventing these accounts is very hard. I seem to remember someone identifying these accounts as User:Tile join (and the naming pattern seems to match), but I couldn't swear to that. RBI is the name of the game here.

 * Ah, yes, I remember Tile join. Are the accounts he tagged related?  Acroterion   (talk)   19:20, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You mean yourself and User:Edgar181? TN X Man  19:21, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, deleted contribs, I see. Hang on. TN X Man  19:21, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No, all those accounts are just pulled, in order, from the user creation log. He probably just went down the list. TN X Man  19:24, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Good, thanks. That was the first time I've used mass delete.  Acroterion   (talk)   19:26, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
