Rony888 has been permablocked as a spam-only account. Within 5 hours, Probuzz account made its first edit, and during a gap in editing times, account Labnol made its contributions.
 * Evidence

Rony888 was permablocked for spamming links to www.labnol.net, a blog run by Rony John. Probuzz's contributions have consisted of spamming links to probuzz.wordpress.com (another blog also run by Rony), labnol.net, and also engaging in discussions intended to garner support for the link. Labnol's 2 contributions have been to add support for a comment posted by Probuzz on Talk:FeedBurner and to modify an existing link to labnol.net.

Also note the obvious connection between usernames and sites.

Correction: Rony888 has only been blocked for 1 week, so further action may be necessary against this account. --AbsolutDan (talk) 01:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Both links added to Shadowbot's spam blacklist. Shadow1 (talk) 13:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC) The two suspected sockpuppets have already been blocked indefinitely for the link spamming in question; no further action need be taken. -- Nataly a 02:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
