Purple contribution has been taking over the user pages, but the other users are accepting this, and playing along. Unsure whether this is plain sockpuppetry or compromised accounts
 * Evidence


 * Comments
 * I'm confused as well. This doesn't seem like your usual troll, creating sleepers to avoid blocks, but some of these accounts were created late last year, and I doubt that the average troll would put so much effort into a little prank... this diff shows Thunda from downunda adding that same panther picture to User:Spute's user page. I'll dig up some more diffs in a moment.  Spebi  08:26, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I've indefblocked Purple contribution for vandalism, so perhaps this might all stop, but we'll see.  Spebi  08:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Please file an RFCU. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 13:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Conclusions
 * CU returns that Thunda from downunda is probably Purple contribution (which corresponds to this being the only other account that co-operated), whilst the others are just long dormant accounts that were vandalised. I've reverted all remaining vandalism. Is it worth indef blocking Thunda from downunda or do we guess that he is bored now? Mayalld (talk) 23:08, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I blocked him, editing is the same to a high degree, I hit the IP too. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 03:06, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
