Habitual behavior

He and his army of socks (there is a new one every few days; of late he's been waiting for them to gain autoconfirmed before beginning vandalism), have a long history of vandalism across a number of WikiProjects. I (User:Purplebackpack89) have usually been his target: He either nominates pages in my userspace for deletion (using the deletions to demand my retirement), spams my talk page with retirement demands, or claims my unused doppelgangers are sockpuppets. User names tend to have "Team UCLA", "Bullsfan", "is my homeboy", "is my homie", or "Purplebackpack89 retire" in the username pbp 13:48, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Also they vote Abstain in AFD pages with all ranges such as (XX is my Homie) that he juxtaposing AFD with Abstain votes. Please check for all is my Homie ranges. for example of cross-wiki issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.64.40 (talk • contribs)
I should also point out that for his suspected (and confirmed) socks that have the naming convention of "XX is my homie/homeboy", "XX" sometimes...but not always...is substituted for names of certain Pokémon. ToThAc (talk) 15:00, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
