| ] (]) responded, but did not address my question. However, in the explanation field of the response Kaletony stated: "I believe the preferred term is 'alternate account.'" This appears to be an admission that Kaletony has more than one user account. | |||
| I asked again Kaletony: "...an SPI would not be needed if you simply answered the question: Do you have more than one account? Per ]: "The general rule is one editor, one account." You state that 'I believe the preferred term is "alternate account'" which suggests that you have two accounts. If you are using an alternative account, per ] you should have links to each on both your "...main and alternative account user pages, either informally or using the userbox templates made for the purpose." Linking the two accounts would obviate the need for an SPI. | |||
| Katetony responded with a taunting "Please stop badgering me. If you think I'm breaking some rule, take it to ANI, " but again did not address the question re multiple user accounts. ] (]) 23:19, 15 September 2014 (UTC) | |||

| :It appears drmies may have blocked to thwart a SPI investigation based on his comments . The block is valid but please continue the SPI to identify whatever "irony" Drmies suspects. I would find it disturbing that ganming the system in this fashion would thwart an obvious SPI checkuser. I find it rather disturbing that the blocking admin has sympathy for protecting an alt account from disclosure. --] (]) 08:44, 16 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :: Me too. It think it is very important that the SPI team discover and identify the 'alternative account'(s) which Kaletony has now to using (yet in the edit explanation suggests that this is just "red herring," and, to lift the block). Another possible 'alternative' account to investigate might be ] who has admitted previously to sockpuppeting. ] (]) 19:40, 16 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :::I'm only afraid of publicly criticizing Eric. I'm happy to publicly criticize gamers, men's rights activists, and other misogynists :) BTW, aren't you supposed to have some sort of evidence before accusing people of being sockmasters (besides Wikipediocracy discussions)? ] (]) 20:51, 16 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :::: I have no idea what the alternative accounts might be, as I noted. And, I don't have the knowledge/means to find out. But, I think it's important that the SPI team does. Sorry, in advance, to any innocents caught in a net of suspicion. ] (]) 21:58, 16 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
| *The account Kaletony was registered to do harrassing and outing like tieing a Misplaced Pages user to a Reddit account, mentioning his area of posting there and removal of his account one week ago (). This is rather serious and should warrant CheckUser even without guessing the suspects, should it not? --]] 01:25, 17 September 2014 (UTC) | |||

| (response to Bbb23): I cited the quote. Read it. Your interpretation may vary but please don't give orders. Drmies blocked on the presumption it was a sockpuppet so your reasoning that a Sock Puppet Investigation is unwarranted is specious without an accompanying unblock. Drmies statement is "I can't let you continue making such points under this account..... Listen, I wouldn't be surprised if you had invited CU already with your highly-visible edits, and hope this doesn't come back to bite you in the ass." My reading is that his block was done in a fashion that would prevent future edits that would invite more evidence for a SPI even though he already made the conclusion of an alt. What is your interpretation? --] (]) 03:34, 17 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
| BTW, the problem with your reasoning is that by invoking the block, the original account or IP may already be affected. Per ] a SPI should be done and the results used to determine the fate of the editor in question. A block may unfairly stop a contributor without a proper investigation even if the alternate account/IP is unknown. --] (]) 04:21, 17 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
| I see that ] is accusing ] and me of socking. I urge Memills to start an SPI or reopen this SPI; I will gladly support it. Any user with CheckUser permissions is welcome to check me on a daily or hourly basis. Should Memills repeat his accusations against me and others, he'll be taken to AN/I faster than he can say "sorry". --] (]) 14:35, 17 September 2014 (UTC) | |||

| {{clerk-note}} Normally, an SPI is opened with allegations that someone is a sock puppet of someone else. In addition, evidence in support of that relationship must be presented, or the SPI will generally be closed with no action. I understand that the editor has stated that he has alternate accounts and that others suspect that based on his behavior he is not new to Misplaced Pages. He was blocked by {{U|Drmies}} for that reason, as well as others, which are fairly obvious from Kaletony's editing style. BTW, {{U|DHeyward}}, your comment about Drmies "thwarting" this SPI is uncalled for. Don't do it again. I'm closing this report with no further action.--] (]) 01:04, 17 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
