[12:10:52] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> took a local action and am avoiding global action to see what else that account does
[12:11:08] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> individual, I should say
[12:11:37] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Uhh, okay then? I would have expected a global lock for that account.
[12:12:48] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> it's whack a mole
[12:13:17] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I'm going to get a better idea of what this mole even is as they seem to have a strong penchant for cgw only, typically something that doesn't even entail a lock in standard voa terms
[12:13:32] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> But at least the IP range is locally blocked for the time being.
[12:13:40] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> if it's like mr. nonci we may be able to refine targeting, if they expand there is more to work from
[12:19:55] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> I'd consider that action you made a CheckUser block from that range.
[12:20:11] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> let's just say it's not the first time I've seen that range in use
[12:20:23] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> an experiment if you will

[12:35:22] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Ugochimobi> Oh
[12:35:27] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Aviram created that account.
[12:35:34] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Ugochimobi> @DarkMatterMan4500 thanks for that
[12:35:54] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> You're welcome.
[12:36:17] <RhinosF1>	 Someone needs to check Aviram then
[12:36:22] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Ugochimobi> So it's clear now that it's a total impersonation
[12:36:26] <RhinosF1>	 As that's 100% not the meta user
[12:36:37] <RhinosF1>	 And I'm 99% sure it's an LTA
[12:36:42] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> I can obviously see an obvious breach of the user accounts policy here.
[12:37:10] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Ugochimobi> Yes,
[12:40:44] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> heh, the local user creation log just popped with three big name accounts
[12:40:50] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> and he just hid something, very interesting...
[12:44:27] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Then doing a CU might likely be necessary, due to the obvious breach of user accounts policy.
[12:44:47] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I have not seen evidence of acting in necessarily bad faith, only in a very confusing way
[12:44:55] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I'm going to see exactly what is going on with the wiki first
[12:45:01] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Alright.
[12:46:02] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> what seems to be the case is that he's made a complete local administration based on accounts he made
[12:46:06] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> some are hidden and some are not
[12:46:14] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> some creations are hidden and some are not (edited)
[12:46:18] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Some are incredibly suspicious.
[12:46:40] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Ugochimobi> Ah, I'm a local sysop there, so maybe I can check
[12:46:45] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I want a bigger picture of what exactly it's on about, maybe he's trying to roleplay out a proper administration
[12:47:00] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> yes, do please inquire as a sysop and get his input why he made so many accounts as local staff
[12:47:28] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I'll swoop in with a username policy advisory since only someone with global rights (gs, preferably steward) is equipped to enforce it
[12:47:34] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Ugochimobi> I was also thinking same

[12:49:49] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Ugochimobi> Hmm
[12:50:28] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Something is very wrong here, based on some of my observations here.
[12:50:31] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Ugochimobi> I'd consult Wolfman on their TP
[12:50:56] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Ugochimobi> And probably send them a mail, in case they're not around on-wiki
[12:58:19] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> this is a headache tbh
[12:58:40] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> either there's a couple extra people who were involved or he's been making a huge web of interconnected accounts
[12:59:01] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> it's likely impossible to link them all given some are probably stale from a technical perspective
[12:59:54] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Why not look into Aviram to see if there's a bunch of other accounts that have been doing logged actions recently?
[13:00:46] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> There's obviously something fishy going on here from what I can see.
[13:00:56] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> oh mate, there's clearly a lot of accounts that have been doing things recently
[13:01:12] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I can count at least 5 so far I'm quite sure before tech evidence are the same person
[13:01:25] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Oh, assuming you have been checking the `loginwiki`?
[13:01:46] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I have not employed CU until I have a reasonable belief of true *abuse*, and not misunderstanding
[13:02:19] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Ah.
[13:02:20] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> Right now I'm trying to get a picture of what this wiki is supposed to be - it seems like it's trying to be a little roleplay universe of a wikipedia
[13:02:55] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> it might explain how wikipedia notables are being literally 'sockpuppeted' to pursue that image, without actually being abused on the wider platform
[13:03:28] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Hypercane> Seems like quite the roleplay then
[13:03:51] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> this will require global intervention, but I want to know more to decide how to approach whatever origin account is there and if, say, I can have them modify the names + put a disclaimer on their global login page while keeping the image on the local wiki
[13:04:05] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> pages I should say, there's at least 3 names in use
[13:04:23] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Hypercane> This is a 1st for me seeing this kind of thing
[13:04:29] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> but before all that the first step is to hear from them what exactly they are doing, then advise based on the apparent intentions
[13:04:46] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Hypercane> Seems reasonable
[13:04:48] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> and of course get a better idea myself so I can assess what they claim is the intention
[13:16:05] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Agent> ooo, Wikipedia roleplay
[13:16:12] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <Agent> Let’s create a Meta roleplay

[20:12:37] <wm-bot>	 https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/SonicFTW_Backup
[20:13:48] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> what block
[20:14:07] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> Oh, now I see
[20:17:54] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Thanks. I would also take it a step further in warning SonicFTW for the evasion.
[20:18:46] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> already handled
[20:19:15] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> and you know what, that was just totally stupid
[20:19:28] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> he was blocked on *one page*, I forgot about that detail
[20:19:43] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> it might not have even been evasion, just yet another one of his nonsensical decisions
[20:20:08] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Since he did that, I'm upgrading it to sitewide anyway.
[20:22:33] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> that would be heavy handed escalation and I don't really advise it
[20:23:09] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> It was simply a bizarre choice he should be - pressured, I'll admit - but at least given the chance to explain especially since it hardly actually did anything for any sensible reason.
[20:23:34] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> Right now he is illogical, we don't need to elevate to outright abuse unless he continues failing to communicate in any way.
[20:23:59] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> He did screw up a page however. Not enough to enforce an indefinite block on the minimal damage made.
[20:24:11] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> What page did he screw with?
[20:24:28] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Disney's business practices, from what I can see.
[20:24:35] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I'm curious how the original block was made in the first place, which has a crappy reason provided that doesn't show much better antics from the blocking user.
[20:25:21] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> what was the sitewide block even for
[20:25:57] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I'm just trying to get how it went from person in reasonable local standing went to a weird local one page block reason to a baffling alt and sitewide escalation
[20:25:58] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> The sitewide block was for him attempting to create an account to possibly go around that partial block.
[20:26:25] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> But I could reverse it to a partial block.
[20:27:31] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> I don't really believe in 'possibly', ideally people who especially aren't marked as long term abuse should be given a little more rope before getting slammed for actions that you now can only speculate may have happened, instead of using as evidence for what did
[20:27:42] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> one of the things the other account did was the stupid malformed rfa on meta again
[20:29:10] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Yes. What SonicFTW did was pretty small, but not enough to warrant a long-term abuse block. I mean, he's made questionable edits.
[20:30:03] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> so let's push the issue locally and see if those aspects can be curbed, but carefully
[20:30:19] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> for me I want evidence that he actually takes advisories and is willing to be responsive
[20:30:52] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <DarkMatterMan4500> Right. Going forward, I'd suggest that SonicFTW be a bit more careful in terms of alternate accounts (or sockpuppetry).
[20:31:27] <mhbridgebot>	 [discord] <raidarr> Feel free to drop a supplementary local notice so he has more go go on.
