The naming convention and poor grammar checks out. Plus, their page here says they've been around since March of 2019, yet their first edit was eight days ago.

They've also been flooding ATT with duplicate requests.

Plus they bugged the ATT with the same question about shared universes even after being told that discussion doesn't belong on ATT.

I wasn't sure if their edit history added up, but I already felt suspicious and still am.

Edit: Yep. Edit history checks out as suspicious. Somebody hasn't washed their socks.

Yikes. We may need to have those edits looked at on the Ban Evasion Cleanup Thread, if it's indeed confirmed to be a ban evader.

If it's true, the mods may also have to wipe their contributions to this discussion page. (My bad for linking them there, I guess.)

Confirmed, though I don't know if Leikster 18 is the same as Tropefan 2020.

I, for one, consider this query resolved.

Edit: Their edits do overlap.

^^ IP overlap confirmed; Tropefan 2020 was only suspended before, but they're now bounced as well.

Question: was Leiky a ban evader for Tropefan 2020, or vice versa? I want to know which account came first to figure out which edits to revert.

Tropefan 2020 is the newer account, if I'm reading the records correctly.
