Suspected sockpuppets


I'm not up on my current refdesk troll list, but it is transparently obvious that these two users, who are obviously not new, are, in fact, after a 3 month hiatus (after being noted as the recurrent refdesk troll), Bred Ivy shows up to defend themselves .

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

It's certainly worth a look. I've often been hassled for using the term "Drive By" to describe trolling behavior. "Bred Ivy", whose activities have totally consisted of trolling, is an anagram of "Drive By", and he also seems to be very aware of when anything happens with "DriveByWire" (who is currently indef'd). "Wire" as a hint for "Current" is pretty obvious. Of course, it could all be an unhappy coincidence or copycatting. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 12:07, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I have strong suspicions that these accounts belong to Cuddlyable3 (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). I can present some evidence later tonight. —Steve Summit (talk) 17:26, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

84.209.89.214 (talk · contribs) of Norway claims on Elen's page that he is DriveByWire. I think there was something said on ANI speculating that it might be a troublesome Norwegian account. So we might indeed have the wrong sockmaster. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 17:36, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

In fact it was Elen who said it: ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 17:38, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

After CU Comment. This is a policy allowed alternate account. My main account can be tied back to my RL identity, and has no overlap areas. So yes, I know my way around WP and No, this is not a sockpuppet account disallowed by policy.

  • The fools above, have no clue.
  • Hipocrite cannot string together a comprehensible sentence.
  • Bugs is a net-negative account to WP (look at the last main space attempt to add a ref. to an article).
  • Steve Summit is full of himself.

There was no good faith reason to tie me to DBW. Hell, anyone worth their salt knows that DBW (who is in fact a sock) has no relation to LC. The actual Sockmaster is obvious, and Elen nailed it. As I commented on the Admin/Clerks talk page, nothing in Policy justified an endorsement. Timotheus, instead of following policy, decides it's more fun to go on the bug hunt(Tim, see Dennis for a little advise on how to follow the policy on Clerking SPI ). No wonder good editors are leaving the encyclopedia. Shit like the circus act above are the busywork of assholes that are either unable to, or unwilling to, use their time to add worthwhile content to the encyclopedia.
