Yesterday I created a deliberate sockpuppet account at [[User:LostInRiverview3]]. My initial plan was to create multiple accounts, to reserve those names so that no one else could create accounts to imitate me. After creating the first one though, I realized that this was probably an incorrect course of action, but the cat was already out of the bag. Today, our old friend created "LostInRiverview 4" and attempted to imitate me. I want to post here and state clearly that ''I will not create any more alternate accounts at any time. Any accounts created on The Sims Wiki that appear to be me are '''not me'''''. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 18:37, August 28, 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah. Thanks for the heads up. Even though it already seemed clear which of these two accounts was the real impostor, partly because the first account didn't show any signs of trolling, whereas the second account did. ― <span style="font-family:'Constantia'; font-weight:bold; font-size:108%;">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font-family:'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size:108%;">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]])</span> 21:07, August 28, 2017 (UTC)
::I also logged into this account immediately after creating the alt account and [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:LostInRiverview3?action=history edited the alt account userpage] to confirm that it was attached to me. I also blocked the alt account indefinitely as per the wiki's "one person, one active account" policy. But I think it hindsight it was a mistake to even create the alt in the first place. I wouldn't encourage others to take a similar approach to solving the problem. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 21:13, August 28, 2017 (UTC)
