Meta:Requests for CheckUser information
| ←Requests and proposals | Requests for CheckUser information on Meta (for other wikis please go to here) | Archives (current)→ |
This page allows you to request CheckUser information on Meta. When adding new requests, please use the {{checkuser}} template to list the user names in question and {{checkip}} for IP adresses, which simplifies investigation. For example, "{{checkuser|Jimbo Wales}}" will result in:
Jimbo Wales (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser • CentralAuth • AllContribs)

[edit] James Salsman
- Survey (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser • CentralAuth • AllContribs)
- Survey_Role (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser • CentralAuth • AllContribs)
- CHSTF (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser • CentralAuth • AllContribs)
I'm noting here that I ran a checkuser on the two Survey accounts and came to find that James Salsman (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser • CentralAuth • AllContribs) is very Likely related them (both of which are blocked). Additionally, it is technically Confirmed that CHSTF (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser • CentralAuth • AllContribs) = James Salsman (though, CHSTF has made no edits). I have refrained from blocking James Salsman for now, but would appreciate input and would not be opposed to an admin blocking. It is also worth noting, that CheckUser indicates that none of the accounts sent a single email. Tiptoety talk 01:14, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I see any reason he shouldn't be blocked. Not sure about the duration, though. --MZMcBride 01:16, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) As I said on User talk:James Salsman/Inactive administrators survey, if the user has engaged in email abuse and multiple accounts abuse, a block should be considered for all his accounts. I'd like to verify whether he's likely to abuse more in the future on Meta, but it might not be needed. Nemo 01:19, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
What policy am I being accused of violating? I explicitly announced that I would be using a role account to send anonymous email, but that announcement has been revision-deleted! My understanding is that role accounts are allowed on Meta. Is that not the case? James Salsman 01:31, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- No...it was reverted, not revdeleted. They are two different things. Tiptoety talk 01:33, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, I see. I'm not used to seeing strikeout in histories like that. Is there a policy against role accounts on Meta? James Salsman 01:36, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- Role account specifically says that they are not sanctioned. Tiptoety talk 01:39, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, I see. I'm not used to seeing strikeout in histories like that. Is there a policy against role accounts on Meta? James Salsman 01:36, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure if there was abuse of multiple accounts here or just stupidity. I'm actually leaning toward the latter given that the account was disclosed and that there doesn't seem to be much (obvious) ill intention here. A block isn't strictly necessary, I don't think. Meta-Wiki simply needs a break—a respite—from this user's stupidity. If he voluntarily goes away for a while (the equivalent of a block), I'd be perfectly content. --MZMcBride 02:28, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
