I was just posting a message to Ponyo asking her who the master was when I noticed you'd already dealt with it. One other thing I was going to ask her but will ask you instead: is there any easy way for me to figure out the master behaviorally?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:58, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

You tagged two minutes after my block. Are you really that fast, or were you already looking at it before I blocked?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:59, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Probably not. I checked because I thought it might be a sock of Denosio, and it wasn't; I wouldn't have figured out who it really was without the magic goggles. There are a number of topic areas that attract a lot of socking as well as a lot of unrelated users with similar behaviour and interests. These include hurricanes, Indian movies, beauty pageants, and RuPaul's Drag Race. I wouldn't have thought visa policies would be one of these topics but here we are. I saw the block on the SPI IRC feed, which logs all sock blocks, and thought it was worth a check. Spicy (talk) 23:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Spicy,

Can you tell me anything about this account? They registered this account years and years ago and then suddenly became active and became a regular patroller who I ran into on a daily basis. You say the account is "compromised" but are they a sockpuppet? They seemed to know their way around the project, nominating articles for AFD discussions and tagging pages appropriately for speedy deletion. Thanks for any information you can offer. Liz ^{Read!

I guess they must have bought that account somewhere! Can Bjorn Gulden, Nick White (comedian), Sarah Riggs and Lee O'Denat be draftified, if there is no master? Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 06:22, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

What's certain is that it's compromised. It's probably connected to the accounts mentioned here. Spicy (talk) 13:31, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Spicy,

I'm echoing Liz's question. Why were they marked as a sock but the block notes stated "compromised"? Was it a mistake? Please clarify. Thanks --- thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

They were not "marked as a sock". Spicy (talk) 14:33, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Spicy: Can you please take a look at this? Blablubbs seems to be away. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 14:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
