[21:36:05] [url] Help:SpecialPage - Miraheze Meta | meta.miraheze.org [21:39:57] 2 of those accounts don't realize that I'm not even playing around. [21:40:08] I blocked them both [21:40:21] Thank you. [21:40:36] I'd be surprised if they aren't the same person [21:40:49] And also if they weren't something to do with Ninox [21:41:19] Possibly. [21:41:41] registered 4 minutes apart [21:41:47] I was waiting for Doug [21:42:05] But I'm inclined to block on behavioural evidence [21:42:12] cc Agent / Reception123 [21:42:21] they clearly have no intent to be useful [21:42:24] RhinosF1 You're not the only one who's waiting for dmehus to return to do a check on both of those user accounts. [21:42:37] I don't need a check user [21:42:42] I mainly wanted his opinion [21:43:05] Oh yeah, probably just me waiting for him to do the check. [21:43:24] It's blatant on behavioural evidence that Ninox == Hirnanian2 == Andy [21:44:16] I think it's best we leave that up to a CheckUser to determine that. I mean, it's obvious behaviorally, but a further investigation might even simplify things. [21:45:36] Well, do I think there's grounds to block to prevent further, imminent distruption [21:45:38] Probably [21:46:16] I think blocking Ninox for now might be the right choice. [21:48:42] Blocked [21:54:54] really very strange even the CentralAuth of these accounts, the best way is to wait @Dmehus anyway [21:55:36] You do realize I'm also right here, right?

[22:04:20] Lets just say the operative behind the accounts in this case has a final opportunity to be clean about it before ugliness ensues.

[22:05:09] but that is a personal decision [22:06:21] I won't but a recent Community noticeboard thread tipped me off [22:06:37] Did Doug say something to you? He was active on IRC, maybe available [22:07:03] Doug has discussed, but I'm a little behind the curve on the latest blocks and such [22:07:04] Multiple users of one in this thread.. yes, w [22:07:07] tbh my priority right now is catchup [22:08:09] Well I don't think it's the same people Andy or Hirnanian because they edited at the same time [22:09:32] I do [22:09:35] they overlapped a lot [22:12:20] everything from centralauth to editing style to timing clicks tbh [22:13:05] I would hope the operator of these socks would come clean soon [22:13:34] I was hoping, but given the vast opportunities so far I'm beginning to think that won't happen, sealing the tragedy [22:13:42] He said he'd be back this evening. [22:14:01] I'd love to be surprised of course [22:14:51] Looks like someone here already knows. [22:15:12] @YellowFrogger Alright, that's about enough. [22:15:48] Let's not attempt to spoil this. [22:17:26] Besides, Doug's Discord account is currently on idle, as you can see. [22:17:28] @DarkMatterMan4500 I don't understand, could you elaborate? the positive point is that Doug is very active in the late hours of my timezone (that is, it is very contrary to mine, UTC-8 / UTC-3), so we are not wrong [22:18:03] But he is on IRC and maybe the relay will do some work here [22:18:06] He was active earlier this morning to investigate some abuse on the `ysmwikiwiki`. [22:18:28] Thanks to the report I sent. [22:19:11] That will be tomorrow. But does he stay active today? [22:20:15] @YellowFrogger Just wait and see. Now let's drop the subject before I start throwing my weight around. [22:20:51] dm [22:20:55] Lets not threaten to throw weight when both parties involved are equal as users under Miraheze discord.

As you said above. Did you quote as if you were someone? Speak your estimate [22:37:41] It's not my position to say it. [22:37:53] I think everyone in this room does have a suspicion however, even you. [22:38:17] It's up to Doug to verify absolutely. [22:39:54] Oh, that's why you said "Shame". It was your suspicion [22:41:29] Shame of an otherwise intelligent actor behind the sockpuppetry going to such lengths, yes. [22:44:52] This is the maximum for an experienced editor. There is a Wiki creator on Miraheze that is currently blocked on Wikipedia for the same reason [22:44:57] It is necessary to hold [22:45:43] Also, there are several SOCKPUPPET suspicions on Miraheze in general, but why are you suspecting only this one?
