Sockpuppet problem notice:
Hello CooleyBoy10,

I am writing this to you tell you that I have been noticing that you've been having some sort of sockpuppeting trouble with a user who calls themselves Jackson. Would you like a Steward to perform a CheckUser on accounts relating to Jackson? I sent a report about this issue to the  channel via Discord and hopefully either Dmehus or Void could fulfill this in hopes of stopping his sockpuppeting behavior.

 * CooleyBoy10 I was going to reach out to you about the above actually, but I do need some context on the original block for the originally blocked user, so I can investigate whether user accounts policy is likely to have been breached. Would you mind providing me that context on the original block reason and the originally blocked user? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 20:25, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this....yes, that would be greatly appreciated!
 * So, if I remember right, the user was originally given a temporary block, because he was adding unnecessary edits to certain pages and causing edit wars as a result. So then he tried making a sockpuppet account (literally named "Jackson Reverts") to evade that temporary block--which turned it permanent.
 * Now he's been running along repeatedly making socks to try and continue his behavior. I'm gonna try and make a list of all his socks, hold on. CooleyBoy10 (talk) 20:51, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

 * He's pretty easy to spot, because he continually makes edits to the same few pages (Kari's Logo Here and one user's to-do list being two of them). CooleyBoy10 (talk) 20:53, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * CooleyBoy10 Okay, thanks. I'll take a look. Was Jackson's World originally warned somewhere as to which rules were being violated? If so, please link that as well. If not, then I'd be inclined to lock only the sockpuppet accounts and advise the user how to properly appeal their original block. Would that be acceptable? Dmehus (talk) 21:09, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't recall ever warning him--IIRC I was probably going to the second time he did it on Jackson's World. He actually went and then made a separate account for reverting edits immediately afterwards, which was the last straw. That was when the edit-warring started--and given he made a sockpuppet with a clearly malicious intent, that was when I banned him.
 * So, no, I don't think he was ever actually warned firsthand, but while is an acceptable compromise...I think the maliciousness of his first sockpuppet outweighs that idea in this case. CooleyBoy10 (talk) 21:22, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * CooleyBoy10 okay, thanks for the response. I'll look into this a bit further and reach out to other Stewards for input on the best course of action. Dmehus (talk) 21:28, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, and thank you too! CooleyBoy10 (talk) 23:50, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * We've been waiting for quite awhile. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 16:17, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * You think could have his take on this? DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 17:34, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 I'm looking into it, and will discuss with Void and other Stewards in due course. Please do not keep asking about the status every few hours. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 17:41, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry about that. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 17:42, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * CooleyBoy10 Apologies for the delay in following up with this, but I'm going to investigate potential abuse of user accounts policy; however, because of the lack of a talk page warning on the noted original account as to what local policies the user was violating that to their block, I'd be inclined to leave the noted original account unlocked and just lock any sockpuppet accounts, as applicable; however, I would like to be able to direct the user to their local wiki user talk page where they can properly appeal their block. Would you be able to restore that user's talk page access? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 21:36, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I just had a look at the user list and it turns out Jackson’s world isn’t the original account. User:Jackson Lumby was registered back in November Hb1290 (talk) 22:24, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Hb1290 Ah, thanks. Not sure if they still have access to that account, though, so may want to leave both user talk pages open. Dmehus (talk) 22:34, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I doubt he has access, given he continually makes sockpuppets under somewhat different names. Wouldn't shock me if he used dummy emails and passwords for spamming a la Duc4Wikifoundry. CooleyBoy10 (talk) 01:29, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * CooleyBoy Even still, would you mind restoring talk page access on Jackson Lumby and Jackson's World? Little harm in doing so. If he vandalizes his talk page, then we know he has access, and clearly isn't here to constructively appeal their local block, and talk page access can be re-revoked and the final accounts locked. Dmehus (talk) 22:41, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure. CooleyBoy10 (talk) 00:01, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * CooleyBoy10 Thanks. That's great. I'll take a look at the potential abuse of user accounts policy and, if and as appropriate, implement measures to guide the user back to their original account(s). Dmehus (talk) 00:09, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * CooleyBoy10 Twelve sockpuppet accounts locked. I've left Jackson's World and Jackson Lumby unlocked, and guided the user to login and appeal their block(s) locally on their user talk page if they wish to edit constructively here, following your wiki's style guidelines. While they should not be able to now, please do let me know if they opt to create other additional sockpuppets instead. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 00:30, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Please remove the protection from UserWiki:SuperMax124!
 * You shouldn't be evading your blocks like that. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 00:40, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
