 * Report submission by

This user has violated multiple image policies related to copyrights.[And many more] After agreeing to stop just before getting reported, he gave himself a barnstar claiming that it was from User:TJ Spyke. After TJ Spyke removed it, a user named User:Spyke Jonze, who had only edited an uploaded image, gave him the same barnstar with the same message. After making some edits to Adam’s page, he then violated policy by inserting his fair use image into the Triple H article. They also have very similar user pages.

 * Conclusions

Agreed that the two are operated by the same person, but I don't see the alternate account being used to votestack, make the appearance of consensus, or any other prohibited use. Giving a barnstar to yourself is perhaps in poor taste, but really nothing we can block anyone for. (On the other hand, the main account might be headed quickly for a block for disruptive editing, but that's outside the scope here unless the other account is helping.)
