Banned sockpuppeteer (well over 50 sockpuppet accounts) back with two more confirmed abusive sockpuppets. Request blocking (though not disclosure) of IP addresses used in latest round of violations and identification of other accounts created at the same time if possible. --Yamla 15:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Note: Randomname987 may or may not be Verdict. This is the only one in the list above that I am not sure about. The account is already blocked by another admin, so do the check if you feel it appropriate but it's not necessary. --Yamla 14:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Note: MGAME is editing many of the same articles in a similar manner but the images are different from what we've seen so far from Verdict. As such, I am unsure whether or not this one is a sockpuppet. Please check. --Yamla 16:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Additional information needed: Per F, could you provide the link which resulted in the ban or the block? Thanks. Real96 16:46, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

As per below, the user known initially as Verdict (talk • contribs) was blocked by Samuel Blanning (talk • contribs) for continued violations. After discussions on unblock-en-l, it was decided that the user was still acting abusively (still creating sockpuppets, still blatantly violating copyright, etc.) and would not be unblocked for at least 3 months. The abuse continued and the block was extended to at least a year. The user has continued to create sockpuppet accounts (well over 50 at last count) and has requested numerous unblocks, all of which have been declined. The various sockpuppets have been blocked by at least nine independent administrators (list available on request). More information available on request. --Yamla 16:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Clerk note: Verdict is probably going to be community banned very soon. See the thread here. PTO 12:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Note that the community ban is now officially in place. --Yamla 14:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

See WP:CN. --Yamla 15:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

This user has promised to come back with a vengence and has promised to create numerous abusive sockpuppets and continue editing abusively in the next few days. Almost certainly, this will involve unblocked TOR proxies. --Yamla 23:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

IP blocked -- many. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 05:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

• Code letter: F

This is the fourth request to check possible Verdict socks. Verdict sockpuppets blocked by at least ten different administrators. Unblock request denied on unblock-en-l. Well over fifty abusive socks created. Bad Boy133, No Surrender No, and Shawnrocks are already confirmed as sockpuppets but I am less certain on O.C12. This account is editing exactly the same articles as the Verdict socks, has the same poor grasp of English, and was created around the time as other accounts. Would likely have been created at the same time as several other accounts, likely from an open proxy. Requesting check and disclosure of other accounts created at the same time. Also, blocking of open proxy. --Yamla 14:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed. IP blocked Blocked or re-blocked some thirty open proxies. However, these open proxies were also used by a number of apparently non-Verdict editors, so I'm not going to provide a big list of them. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 15:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I was looking for a list of other accounts to block, accounts created at the same time from the same open proxies. But this may not be possible for you to determine. Thanks, though! --Yamla 15:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

These users are already confirmed as puppets of Verdict however it is evident he has more sleepers and may be employing an open proxy that need blocking. –– Lid^(Talk) 05:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

• Matt WWE (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Big Frank88 (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)

Two new accounts both requesting unprotection of the page. Matt WWE I can pretty much confirm is another sock as one of his first acts was to upload one of Verdict's images but Frank needs a checkuser as he is claiming to not be related at all and to possess a second account. These claims need checking as it is possible Frank simply made a poor choice however Verdict has tried this sort of thing in the past. –– Lid^(Talk) 06:12, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed; and Frank88 was created the very same minute on the very same IP as Eric 360 and Real Deal Lashley. Several IP blocked too. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 21:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Indefinitely blocked user continues to create sockpuppets on a daily basis in order to continue blatant copyright violations and to continue avoiding the block on the parent account. Please identify the open proxies this user is likely using so they can be shut down. It would also be useful if any other sleeper accounts were identified but this may not be appropriate.

• Code letter: F

The user known initially as Verdict (talk • contribs) or Martin181 (talk • contribs) was blocked for continued violations. The user created a large number of sockpuppet accounts, approximately 15 at last count. After discussions on unblock-en-l, it was decided that the user was still acting abusively (still creating sockpuppets, still blatantly violating copyright, etc.) and would not be unblocked for at least 3 months. The abuse continued and the block was extended to at least a year. The user has continued to create sockpuppet accounts and has requested numerous unblocks, all of which have been declined.

This person has now started creating sockpuppet accounts and letting them sit for five days in order to edit semi-protected articles. As such, we know the user has several other accounts in addition to the proven sockpuppet accounts listed above. I would like you to identify these accounts so they can be blocked. Additionally, if the user is operating from a single IP address (this looks unlikely, I believe user has switched to open proxies and the like), I would like that identified so we can block it for perhaps 6 months. Yamla 17:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed. Some of the addresses have been open proxies, some I've not been able to confirm, but they're in similar ranges. I've blocked the OPs I've found. I'm thinking we might want to block a /24 range; let us know if more of these pop up. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 19:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed the new ones too. /24 range block applied; some more sleepers might show up, but no new ones, if we're lucky. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 00:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

You spoke too soon.  :( --Yamla 00:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, no. I didn't block the individuals. You might wish to do so or get someone to do so. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 00:16, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
