- Evidence
Both user names are advertising for a company called James Van Blaricum oil on their user page. User:James-van-blaricum-oil's user page was deleted for g11. He promoted a company called James Van Blaricum oil. User:Signaloilandgas1 is now doing the same on his user page for the same company. He's (like User:James-van-blaricum-oil did it) linking to one of the company's websites. Both user's only edits were to their user page with promotional content. I won't tag the puppet's user page for g11 as long as the sock case is open.
- Comments
Ain't there a way to prevent him from recreating another account over and over again? (how about blocking his e-mail in addition to his IP and the ACB?) I doubt that he'll give up. The third sock has already been blocked; and I think there are a few more to come :-/ User Dœ αTΩC 14:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
Apparent spammer with multiple accounts. Both accounts indef blocked and spam pages deleted; we can leave this report open for a few days in case he is able to evade the account creation block or IP autoblock. --MCB (talk) 18:28, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
