They seem to be claiming to be 4 other IPs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/84.13.254.137
 * Evidence

These accounts got into trouble for spamming, then blocked for making legal threats. As a mere antivandalism editor, I'm not sure what to do with this situation, but thought it might use some admin attention.


 * Comments

Additional IP addresses found - correct sockpuppeteer is User:ickie_rich. --Sigma 7 10:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * User:A. B. has done the grunt work to unearth the other sockpuppets and IPs involved in the spam scheme (see any of the user talk pages). The question is not whether we have sock puppets - that's clearly affirmative.  The question is what to do about it, since we can't indef-block IPs.  Maybe block A. B.'s list for a week and see if the spammer returns to oblivion.  Of course it depends on considerations of collateral damage. Yechiel Man  12:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

Ah, don't I ever remember Rickie rich. IPs blocked for 48 hours as obvious socks, though as Rickie seems to have a highly-dynamic IP, I doubt that will be tremendously effective. If you catch obvious socks like this in the future, please let me know directly and I can deal with them more quickly. Seraphimblade Talk to me 23:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
