[00:49:49] How do you mess up dmehus that bad [00:55:07] Obviously they're making a point to do just that >.> Not that, given the logs, it was done well. [01:18:51] merd* in Romance languages usually equates to the vulgar name for feces so this was completely intentional [01:25:45] Yes, it was intentional. I wanted to redirect @Doug's attention to that. [04:23:32] Looks like usahawiki was potentially overrun by spambots? https://usaha.click/wiki/Special:RecentChanges [04:23:34] [url] Recent changes - Usaha | usaha.click [04:26:18] global AbuseLog doesn't show any recent public hits on that wiki [04:32:57] dross: I investigated that wiki months ago but their scope is to ack as a sort of business phonebook for Indonesia [04:33:38] s/ack/act/ [04:33:39] ssh-agent meant to say: dross: I investigated that wiki months ago but their scope is to act as a sort of business phonebook for Indonesia [04:34:13] Weirdness. It just looked like the recent changes have broken from the way the admin originally wrote page titles [04:35:04] Definitely strange but if you check the main page, it all makes sense [10:51:29] dross What kind of pages have those spambots created? [12:00:00] [[Special:CentralAuth/Lloyd Jak MK VII]] @Doug / dmehus: Leerdoman74 came back with a new account, and the username sounds painfully obvious that it's him, mainly because the sockpuppet has edited on the same page as the master: https://wretchedyoutubevideos.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Diff/6596 https://wretchedyoutubevideos.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Top_10_Worst_Cartoons&diff=prev&oldid=6595 [12:00:00] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Lloyd_Jak_MK_VII [12:00:00] https://wretchedyoutubevideos.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Top_10_Worst_Cartoons&diff=prev&oldid=6594 (Lloyd Jak MK VII) https://wretchedyoutubevideos.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Top_10_Worst_Cartoons&diff=prev&oldid=1657 (Leerdoman74) Also note that Lloyd Jak MK VII shares a [[w:WP:DUCK]]y username similarity to Lloyd Jak Mk IV, Lloyd Jak Mk VI, Lloyd Min 56, LloydJak76, and even LloydJak76 MK II. The Lloyd Jak MK VII account was [12:00:00] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:DUCK [12:00:01] created today, which was 16 days after Lloyd Jak Mk IV, Lloyd Jak Mk VI and 47Namodreel were locked. He should've appealed his main account, not create a bunch of accounts to go around locks.

But I'm not sure if they are the same person. What do you think @Doug? [14:17:43] To me it is essentially the same behavior, profile, and results from a relatively easy to estimate intent. Of course I defer to Doug if he believes it is compelling. [14:19:01] Yeah, we can wait for dmehus to determine whether or not they are the same person or not.

[22:19:34] Raidarr might have been on to something there. There's definitely something not right here. [22:19:37] I was wondering about that user's association with another case yes; in sum there is nothing that would lead me to prescribe a lock or taking further action, but enough to recommend a Steward's eye given the exceedingly strange behavior. [22:19:58] And of course an eye from everyone who regularly takes a look at meta. [22:20:25] Yeah, behavioral evidence is too low but they definitely share some mannerisms [22:21:04] Which is why we'd like @Doug's opinion on this strange behavior. [22:21:17] Yeah, he'll get to it this weekend [22:21:20] In the spirit of good faith and overall oddities in behavior aside, one could chalk up the talk page creation to an overzealous attempt at reporting.
