Cplot

  • Code letter: CF

User:Cplot has been indefinitely blocked for trolling, personal attacks, incivility, and disruption on articles relating to the September 11, 2001 attacks. See WP:ANI#Block review requeste for details. These IPs listed have been editing various policy and project pages, such as the Help Desk and Village pump (news), and Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#US_Authorities_on_Wikipedia.3F Village pump (miscellaneous) and targeting user talk pages. [3]

The IPs come from Sprint PCS. I think perhaps the user has sprint wireless broadband, where the IP changes each time one logs on the Internet. It only takes a minute to log off and on again, so the user can repeatedly do that and evade blocks. As a result, Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks has been semi-protected.

While blocking may not be the answer, I'd like this pursued further, such as on WP:ABUSE, if this is Cplot evading his/her indef block. --Aude (talk) 01:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked a few:

But, the user comes back after a couple minutes with a new IP. --Aude (talk) 02:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  Note: Cplot is definately in the 68.30 /16, there is no sign of him in 70.8.0.0/16. User:HowAboutThisNameThen, who was blocked yesterday, is also in that /16. The good news is, there isn't much of anyone else in the /16's, so if they are creating problems, an anon-only block of either or both (keep it short) would be fine.
