User:Reri Horlockon has admitted to being the 63.19 vandal. Can't say I'm that surprised, more impressed that a vandal would spend so much time vandalising himself. Has promised to continue vandalising under sockpuppets. Archer7 | talk 10:19, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Does anyone have any idea what's going on with the new usernames that are being created with random numbers. See the user creation log to see what I mean, none of them are contributing. Archer7 16:23, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • We should get a steward to authorized a check user to see if they might be coming from the same or similar IPs. The name is not substantive and should probably be blocked with a message asking the user request name change from a bcrat. -- Psy guy 16:43, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
