Evidence

A while ago User:Sarenne was banned for disruptive edits regarding something called "binary prefixes". Please check the archive of the non-blanked page.

Recently these two IP addresses appeared editing the same articles and making the same kinds of edits regarding binary prefixes, the edits are single purpose to add those changes back again contray to WP:MOSNUM. User talk:217.87.98.171 User talk:217.87.99.127 This anonymous user then made attacks and bad faith untrue accusations of sockpuppetry (and other untrue accusations and insults) quite early on when his changes were reverted inline with WP:MOSNUM. In short the IPs were also used to make attacks against editors who had previously reported Sarenne's sock puppets.

The edit and comment style is sufficiently similar to Sarenne to cause User:Wgungfu and I to conclude the user is Sarenne using IP addresses again.

Then follows is an admission by the IP user that "You're not going to ban me this way because it's child's play to circumvent such a silly ban". It is worth noting at this point that Sarenne was banned for using Tor open proxies.

Eventually the IP user created an account name User talk:NotSarenne.

Now NotSarenne is adding bogus warnings to other editor talk pages.

It also appears that NotSarenne has created another account to be a "straw man sock puppet" Special:Contributions/HyperColony as can be seen from the edit history. Please run a check user to see if there are any of the same IPs being used for these two accounts.


Comments
  • Please, be so kind and let me add a comment to this myself. It is just as likely that these two accounts (User:HyperColony and User:QuinellaAlethea) are a third-party and are simply making fun of us. In all fairness, the least far-fetched explanation is that these are sock puppets of users who are siding with User:Fnagaton. I find it amusing and sad at the same time that you are accusing me of such dirty tricks virtually out of the thin air. You might also want to take this anonymous edit into account [1]. --NotSarenne 21:50, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Conclusions
  • NotSarenne has already been indef blocked.
  • HyperColony is an obvious sock and I've indef blocked him. --Akhilleus (talk) 03:20, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
