Arbcom ruling: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Zer0faults#Zer0faults placed on Probation

Overview:

Same editing styles, same pages frequented, same arguement style on WP:ANI which he was harshly reprimand for in the arbitration decision.

History:

User:Zer0faults stated that he was going to close down one account on September 15th, User:Zer0faults#My_Decision because of the Arbcom ruling Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Zer0faults/Proposed decision which the Arbcoms ruled against him on several points.

On September 18th User:NuclearUmpf was created.

Additional information:

If necessary I can email extensive evidence to any person reviewing this case. Please message me on my talk page, or comment here to request this extensive and exhastive evidence. I would not have initiated this checkuser if I was not 100% sure, because of my past involvement with User:Zer0faults.

I am almost 100% certain based on his behavior in this case, as soon as you close down NuclearUmpf‎, he will simply open yet another user account. Travb (talk) 13:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:SOCK:

"There's no specific policy against it, but it's generally considered uncool unless you have a good reason," and " ... multiple usernames are really only a problem if they are used as a method of troublemaking of some sort. For example, to generate an appearance of consensus, or to vote more than once, or to hide from public scrutiny."

The reason for discouraging sock puppets is to prevent abuses such as a person voting more than once in a poll, or using multiple accounts to circumvent Misplaced Pages policies or cause disruption. Some people feel that second accounts should not be used at all; others feel it is harmless if the accounts are behaving acceptably.

Multiple accounts may have legitimate uses, but you must refrain from using them in any way prohibited to sock puppets, and from using one account to support the position of another, the standard definition of sock puppetry. If someone uses multiple accounts, it is recommended that he or she provide links between the accounts, so it is easy to determine that they are shared by one individual.

You can have someone from Arbcom contact me for any questions. Unless any of that is proven I have nothing more to say. Travb cannot initiate Checkusers because he simply has a gut feeling. --NuclearUmpf 15:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
