[edit] Skinmeister (2)

• Skinmeister (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Applesnsauce (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Theabsman (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser)

From previous check:

• 86.128.222.36 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log • checkip)

Skinmeister has been checked before, and it was deemed likely that he was Rennix (talk • contribs) and 86.128.222.36 (talk • contribs). See Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Skinmeister

Skinmeister (talk • contribs), Applesnsauce (talk • contribs), and Theabsman (talk • contribs) are behaving disruptively at Blackface in an apparent attempt to bait User:Deeceevoice, who is the main editor there. It seems likely the three of them are sock or meat puppets. Policy violations: WP:NPA (calling an editor a moron in an edit summary [1]), repeated 3RR violations (Skinmeister has been blocked five times for it, once on Blackface), gaming the system so as not quite to violate 3RR, and talk-page baiting. Blackface is a featured article, so his/their disruption of it is doubly annoying. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 13:26, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Confirmed CheckUser confirms that Applesnsauce (talk • contribs) is a sockpuppet of Theabsman (talk • contribs). So are Thebo94 (talk • contribs), Gettheright (talk • contribs), and Stopitplease (talk • contribs). However, it is unlikely that Skinmeister (talk • contribs) is using these accounts.

[edit] Skinmeister and Rennix

• Skinmeister (talk • contribs)
• Rennix (talk • contribs)
• 86.128.222.36 (talk • contribs)

It is suspected, based on editing style and voting-stuffing on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_shock_sites_(fourth_nomination), that Skinmeister (talk • contribs) and Rennix (talk • contribs) are the same person. (The most recent indicator that Skinmeister is a sockpuppet is that he/she made a sarcastic comment about getting "another" 24 hour block, when he/she had never been blocked before from that account by that point. Please conduct a CheckUser to check whether these accounts are sockpuppets of each other and of any other account. --Nlu (talk) 11:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I added the IP that he is using to influence votes as well. There is a boatload of evidence that these are the same person. One is that Rennix has only really posted at articles/votes that Skinmeister has an interest in, specifically 2 of the AfD votes on List of shock sites. Not only that, but it's pretty obvious that Skinmeister uses Rennix to "get back" at other users by using very abusive language in his edit summaries: [2], [3]. Also, Rennix uses a tactic that Skinmeister (editing as 86.128.222.36) does, which is readding votes taken away by admins. Here is 86.128.222.36 doing it and here is Rennix doing it. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 16:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
