Same telltale pattern. Likely to be blocked shortly but requesting CU anyway in case. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 23:41, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Directed here by an edit summary. Looking at the other socks that have turned up, the one whose edit history is available has the exact same editing pattern (editing infobox images specifically) as TylerKutschbach's long-running farm of socks. As Clean Shaven 101 (confirmed to NFL Star QB) restored a change made by a confirmed Kutschbach sock, as well as noting the similarities in NFL names (see also NFL Diehard, confirmed to TylerKutschbach and making the same edits), I'd be pretty confident that NFL Star QB = TylerKutschbach. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 13:11, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Master tagged. Other socks listed for the various scripts. Awaiting administrative action - Please block Clean Shaven 101 as a CU confirmed sock (no tags please as I want to make sure they're all accurate). --Jack Frost (talk) 12:45, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Oshwah: - Do you mind confirming who was CU confirmed to who when you blocked Patrick Mahomes 154444? I want to sort the tags while we're here because I suspect this isn't the last we've seen of this case... Jack Frost (talk) 12:53, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Repeating actions carried out by a blocked sock of TylerKutschbach, whose socks appear to have been filed under this farm. Both users are already blocked; frankly I'm just filing this because 1) there may be sleepers, and 2) I'm not sure if this falls under NFL Star QB or TylerKutschbach. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 22:22, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioGom: Re your closing comment, I did outline my exact reason for filing this, given the likelihood the previous socks are socks of another farm which borders on LTA. This is not a request for you to re-open this, just to clarify that I'm not some sort of clueless type who's deliberately filing "expensive" SPI reports and/or doesn't know how to file a good SPI report per the essays you've left. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 20:31, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your response, I very much appreciate you clarifying that. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 21:03, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No need to proceed with an investigation for a blocked (and blatant) socks with few edits. You might find User:Blablubbs/How to file a good SPI and User:Tamzin/SPI is expensive informative about why this kind of report should generally be avoided. Closing without action.

ser!: My apologies. I didn't mean to come across as patronizing. These essays were part of my training as a clerk (and that was long after I started being involved at SPI), and I think they give really good insights on the SPI processes, including this closure.
