OK, guys, I feel compelled to make another report because I see absolutely no way to assume good faith here. Open and shut, either a sock or a meat.
 * Evidence

Hobie Hunter 65.8.3.209 65.10.8.155 John J. Bulten 17:42, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Enters a vote on 2/17:
 * Also creates a vote on 11/1:
 * Has three Florida edits
 * BellSouth Miami ADSL
 * Votes with Hobie Hunter 3 minutes afterward on 2/17:
 * Reverted Zz414, who then accused Hobie Hunter of being 65.8.3.209 (see below)
 * BellSouth Miami ADSL
 * Edited Florida template:
 * Votes with Hobie Hunter 4 minutes afterward on 11/1:
 * 2 minutes later, deletes 2/19 comments from their archive (where Zz414 accused Hobie Hunter of being 65.8.3.209):

There is just no way to assume good faith as to the deletion of comments from archive, against the explicit notice, when the only possible motive for deletion is to remove evidence of Hobie Hunter doing exactly the same vote-stacking as before. There is no way for 65.10.8.155 to have known in 2 minutes, without prior premeditation, that Hobie Hunter had been accused of vote-stacking on 2/19. So 65.10.8.155 conveniently created a smoking gun. Thanks for your help. John J. Bulten 17:42, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Quack, quack. We've got TWO cases of those IPs editing in enough time for Hobie to edit, sign out and edit again as an anon.  No further discussion needed here, I think.  If only all sock cases were this easy.  Blueboy96 13:37, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

All three users tagged. Blocked HH one week, giving one more chance. Can't block IPs indef, so blocked a week. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 22:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
