Yes, the heading should say something like (4th), (5th), (6th), but between the various sock puppet reports listing Creepy Crawler as the puppetmaster and reports listing some of the puppets (some of which engage in vandalism like creating hoax articles or inserting bogus birthdates) such as EJBanks as puppetmaster because IP address records don't go back far enough to confirm CC as the current puppetmaster, I have no idea what Xth report this is. Just look at the sheer number of confirmed puppets and suspected puppets.
 * Evidence

Anyway, User:FightTheDarkness is a clear sockpuppet of User:Creepy Crawler who has been repeatedly banned and repeatedly uses new socks to edit anyway. All incarnations create and quickly populate categories and/or lists, editing articles about superheroes (especially Batman and Spider-Man), soap operas (especially Days of our Lives), reality shows, and miscellaneous celebrities. See editing pattern information which was compiled for a previous sock report.

FightTheDarkness's similarities to that past pattern include but are not limited to the following:

•	Incorrect capitalization of article/category titles 

•	Batman edits 

•	Comic book movie actors/filmmakers Actor Filmmaker

•	Days of our Lives edits 

•	Lists 

•	Harry Potter edits 

•	Reality TV shows 

•	Shrek edits 

•	Spider-Man, especially movie and video games. Movie Video game

Although his contrib list is small, it's the same sort of efforts we've seen from EJB/CC, and a common area, Spiderman. The vandal's been known to bounce between identities before, and jumping into a few page histories, that stood out to me. I may be wrong, but both Doczilla and I have reported this guy before, and that one feels right. Consider that both avoid edit summaries and edit the entire page, preventing even section Identifiers from being present in summaries. CT follows FTD by a day on the page, the next immediate edits. That's also something we've seen before, him editing, then editing with another account right after, or days after.

Based on this dreamcast of Spider-Man films, and his contribs to soap opera characters and comic book film actor articles, this clearly fits the EJBanks/Creepy Crawler pattern. Main user page has MORE dreamcasts. A look at the age of the account suggeststhis might be one of the earliest of his socks, and shows that there are potentially dozens of hidden socks still out there. Similar dreamcasts at Trump1026 reveal him as yet another sock of EJB/CC. Trump1026 isn't even a real user, apparently, but just a faked out page. Still, it's him, and I'm requesting the name be blocked from becoming an account as well.

Pretty convincing. All blocked and tagged but note Trump1026 couldn't be blocked because it was never registered. Added Batman Fan (who was already indef'd) because it created Trump1026's user page. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 15:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
