Wikipedia talk:Long-term abuse/Komodo lover

Just out of interest...
Why is DLC holding onto this LTA article? If Komodo lover is still a problem for articles then this should be a subpage on WP:LTA if they're that prolific. If nobody disagrees that it should move, I'll move it by the end of this week. -- treelo talk 10:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Blocking IP addresses
Why isn't it possible to block KL's IP? T.Neo (talk contribs) 07:34, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Explain. -- treelo talk 16:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Why can't admins see the IP address he is using and block it from creating accounts? My opinion is that KL is a child or a person with a mental disorder. T.Neo (talk contribs) 10:58, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * IP addresses rarely if ever get blocked, they usually end up with a block on account creation and/or posting dependant on the severity of the vandalism and disruption. Most you or anyone else can do is gather up what evidence you can, keep the suspected sockpuppet accounts and IPs list up to date and file a case at WP:RFCU along with one at WP:SSP. Not much else you can do but if an admin decides to take an interest in this, it'll help future cases. treelo  talk 12:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I have tried to persuade KL (Under the uusername of Black Rhino Ranger) on zoo tycoon wiki to stop creating sockpuppets. He seems to be editor of the month on this site. See. T.Neo (talk contribs) 17:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey guys this is Xtremepieman from Zoo Tycoon wiki, and I think I've just found another sock of KL. User:Rodimus Rhyme edits almost exactly the same pages as KL did (Zoo Tycoon, cartoons, ect.) and I have a good feeling he is KL. 98.169.226.21 (talk) 17:09, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Yep. Rhodimus Rhyme is 99% possibility KL sock. ARGGH! Could an admin please ban the guy? T.Neo (talk contribs review me ) 10:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * You'll need to start a WP:SSP case. My suggestion would be to grab a number of diffs from User:Rodimus Rhyme, and compare them to various diffs from some of KL's most recent known socks. When you file the SSP, make sure you link this LTA report. I might also suggest a WP:RFCU, depending on the time-frame. I think RFCU can only go back a couple of months.

Have you seen Rodimus Rhyme's userpage? It seems to filled with crap claiming he is KL. T.Neo (talk contribs review me ) 15:00, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So why not report him? treelo  radda  16:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I am lazy
 * I haven't the foggiest of where I should report stuff like this. I thought this was the place.

I'll see what I can do. T.Neo (talk contribs review me ) 12:14, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Has Rhodimus Rhyme been banned? T.Neo (talk contribs review me ) 17:43, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You could find out yourself you realise? No, he hasn't been banned but seeing as nobody has done anything to that effect I wouldn't expect him to be. His contribs don't exactly show up malicious behaviour so I'm figuring to step back and don't really do anything unless it needs to be done. Blocks are only precautionary, not punitive. treelo  radda  18:25, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

BlackRhinoRanger
I think I found BRR's DeviantArt account.

Just thought I should let you know. In case you wanted to check it out to see if he wrote anything about his vandalism in his blog.--74.192.150.11 (talk) 18:43, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Has he actually done anything like that yet? I think he's currently floating around as User:DownAirStairsConditioner as well as whatever other oddball fruitcake accounts he's got besides Rodimus there. I'd do a SPI to find out but I don't care what he's upto enough to get evidence and file it. I don't know if there's anyone else who's a regular here putting in any interest into what this guy does given most input to the talkpage is just T.Neo and T.Neo again but logged out but consider me done with him simply because keeping tabs on him is like babysitting for a kid with several severe mental issues which probably isn't too far from the truth. In any case, you keep an eye on his blog and then say something here given something which is akin to stating "I vandalised Wikipedia again, woo, here are the accounts I used". I won't field it or anything but hey, at least you tried right? Stay classy. treelo  radda  19:07, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
