Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Spreading the same linkspam. For example 'edcweapon.com' here as Roysouvik392 and here as Bangiroy. Also, here Roysouvik392 shows up to edit a talk page comment made by Bangiroy. Given the combination of linkspam and article creation, I strongly suspect this is part of a paid editing sockfarm. Please do a checkuser sweep to look for other sock accounts.

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

Seemingly returning to Self-defense to do the same type of link spam as Bangiroy has done on both this article and others such as Brass knuckles. AlexandraAVX (talk) 06:57, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not so sure that they're the same person: they're spamming a different website. Could an admin (Discospinster? n.b. I'm not admin-shopping, I just wanted to pick an admin and you showed up on one of the history pages :)) please either indef MJB06 for being a spam-only account or (if not editing in a month matters) just close this without action? — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:44, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that there's no watertight proof (at least that I have access to) but using different domain names is part of the MO for SEO/link spam. AlexandraAVX (talk) 11:03, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
