Suspected sockpuppets

edit

Second Skin got banned May 2024. CatTits10 account was created August 2024. Between that time, Second Skin evaded via different IPs. The evasion stopped in August 2024, just before CatTits10 was created: evasion seen here.

Uses the slang word 'dude'. Not that big of a deal, but ends sentences with it specifically: here and here.

According to talk page of CatTits10, 'I've been purging extreme metal, hardcore punk and scene band articles'. Extreme metal is common between both users. Here's some shared examples: here and here. Also, here and here.

They also quote genre names in their summaries: here and here.

CatTits10 has been mass deleting content over the past few weeks. Completely deleting blocks of Wikipedia articles. Which is what brought this to light to begin with. PainiacPig (talk) 18:00, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

I also wanted to point out the user's aggressive and deflective tone. Second Skin's attitude can be plainly seen on this incident and then again on this newest incident. As one user said on Second Skin's topic, 'The history is not all years ago some of it is recent, and it's necessary to show the pattern. You don't give a damn what people say to you.' Months later it perfectly applies to this CatTits10 user. PainiacPig (talk) 20:14, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All this evidence makes me think I agree with this claim. These aggressive tones are definitely part of the problem so socking is almost certain with 3110+ edits already made without suspicious detection. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 22:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
