VinceB was banned after having been blocked eight times for disruptive sockpuppetry, vandalism, personal attacks, and edit warring. See Community sanction noticeboard/Archive6. Facing a ban, he threatened that he would evade it using sockpuppets and so he does. ,, , , , and several other IPs have already been blocked. I believe VinceB is currently using two new sockpuppets. Another user who have had numerous dealings with VinceB and is very familiar with his style of editing and communication, believes the same. Here is the evidence:
 * Evidence
 * 1) Odbhss was created 11 hours after Norman84 was blocked indef. Pannonia was created just few hours after Odbhss started to attack me (and few days after Norman84 was blocked), perhaps in order to create a back-up or support account.
 * 2) Odbhss and VinceB's IP collaborate in revert wars, plausibly to avoid 3RR violation (compare Odbhss and VinceB's IP; and Odbhss and again VinceB's IP).
 * 3) Instead of constructive contributions, both accounts are used only to push VinceB's POV. Compare Pannonia's edit and VinceB's edit and edit of an IP of VinceB's range. Compare Odbhss' edit and VinceB's edit. Please also note that both users are interested only in few articles, the ones that have been frequently vandalized by VinceB and his other sockpuppets.
 * 4) Odbhss is replacing official names of towns in Slovakia, Romania, and Serbia by their Hungarian names - one of the favorite activities of VinceB (e.g., ).
 * 5) Both users immediately started to attack the usual victims of VinceB. They use VinceB's words, including the f*** word (Pannonia:, Vinceb: ) and accusation of "ultranationalism" (Pannonia:, Odbhss: , VinceB: ). Odbhss used his user page to attack other users in a very similar way as VinceB did, even including the same targets. Pannonia may have chosen his nick name because it is close to the name of User:PANONIAN, a frequent victim of VinceB's harrasment. Although this is just a minor point, both Odbhss and Pannonia have the same level of English, doing the same mistakes as ViceB did, and they overuse capital letters and exclamation marks in communication - another characteristics of VinceB's style.
 * 6) Odbhss has repeatedly removed a vandalism warning template from his talk page, as VinceB used to do.
 * 7) Another user requested a CheckUser against them, but the request was even refused as unnecessary because the behavior of Pannonia itself is a duck test. Just to avoid misunderstanding, I asked the administrator responsible for CheckUser for an answer again. And the answer reiterated that an administrative action against Pannonia and Odbhss is really needed..
