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)
