  • All of these are synonyms of the indef-blocked Axmann8 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). I am certain the three are the same guy. I'm not totally certain they're actually Axmann8. They could be a troll who's trying to further tighten the noose on Axmann8. However, the puppeteer is familiar with the involved users, such as me and CENSEI, so at the very least he comes into this knowing all about the Axmann8 case. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc?

  • Axmann8 has sent me this following email:

I'm not sure about his statements, but they do have a point. -download | sign! 03:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's the reason I want it checked. It's a little too obvious. If it's Axman, then he's already banned anyway. And if it's not, somebody's in a heap o' trouble - and the ban might need to be reconsidered. We'll see. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 04:34, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I received the same email from AxMann8, it should be noted. Foxy Loxy Pounce! 08:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If they turn out NOT to be related ot Axman, is it possible to find out who the actual creator of those socks is? Because if it's a regular user, some kind of sanction would seem to be in order. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 10:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Also if this is socking from a single IP or a small range, could an IP block or range block be applied to reduce or (hopefully) stop the disruption? Certainly this is a sock-wearing duck (witness "the", or at least "a" puppeteer actually "helpfully' adding themselves above). There is an arguable case for Axmann8 to be unblocked; the socking is merely clouding the issue. Stopping it by blocking an IP or range would help. Tonywalton Talk 00:16, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I had a cursory look at this yesterday as part of an ArbCom investigation. I found no obvious technical evidence to link Axmann8 with the socking. Axmann8's edits are almost entirely from a single fixed IP address, whereas the socks come from dial up accounts. The possibility that the socking is the work of an unrelated opportunist troll with a grudge cannot therefore be discounted. Axmann8 incidentally was not blocked for socking but for disruption.  Roger Davies talk 12:56, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Anne' comes right out of the gate knowing how our system works; granted that's not considered 'hard evidence', but is generally unusual. Axmann also has a habit of creating 'hiding in plain sight' accounts which are generally variations or plays on his original account name. 'Anne Maxight' is an anagram of 'Axmann Eight'. That's a little too perfect to be coincidence. HalfShadow 03:26, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
