[edit] Hindutva

Hindutva troll taking to creating throwaway accounts. Either an editor of the "Singh continuum", (Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Rajput), Sisodia (talk · contribs), a user involved in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Hkelkar, or a "user in good standing" hiding his revert-warring (I don't know who it is, that's why I'm filing this). dab (𒁳) 20:20, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

it is apparent that these accounts (except for Anarya) are all created by a single user, using some sort of account creation automatization, generating new account names by randomly combining two dictionary words. This is extremely disruptive, and if a permanent IP is behind this, that IP should be blocked, and possibly an abuse report filed (if the troll is at an university or similar). Of course we cannot just begin blocking "random two-word account names", because of false positives, and also because the troll will then simply change his account naming scheme. dab (𒁳) 09:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Unnecessary If this is the case, the IP can be blocked implicitly if the proper block options are chosen. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 21:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
