@Nthep: Did you mean to open this with one puppet or two? You listed nothing under suspected puppets and then said to "add" Belaruski.kanal. For example, did you mean to list Vasili-vorobiev, who appears to be related? You don't list the oldest account as the master but I'll deal with that myself after your answer. Also, you refer to CU blocks of previous creators? Which accounts are those?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:30, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23:. One puppet initially then the second came along creating more versions of the same. Vasili-vorobiew I wasn't aware of and must have come along after I created this report. Most of the evidence for these being socks I'm taking from the edit history of Alex Bugatti where the following accounts are all CU blocked and I now think the master is Rutubs:

Jei.2017 is a duck, already blocked by Nthep, and I have now tagged the account. Maximushils is a duck, already blocked by SuperMarioMan, and I have now tagged the account. The IP addresses are ducks, but since neither has edited for a few days, and the troll moves quickly from one IP address to another, there is no point in blocking them now. There are far too many other edits, not from this troll, I the IP range for a range block to be acceptable. However, listing them here was still useful, investigating the range led me to another sockpuppet account, Jisi.dli and two other IP addresses which had been used today, so I did block those.
