On 15 July this year, Legaiaflame was banned for repeated accounts of subtle vandalism, mostly on firearm/ammunition articles. He was given tons of warnings, but either ignored them, or was unable to read them, due to an issue with the Android app. The very next day, Bravefencer365's account was created, [1] through which, he engaged in subtle vandalism on the same types (and often the exact same) articles, also ignoring his multiple final warnings. This seems to me like a quite clear-cut example of WP:BLOCKEVASION. Loafiewa (talk) 12:56, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Note:
Looks like a duck to me, the diffs above and in each account's contributions show a very similar pattern of changing information about dates in firearm articles to be incorrect without the benefit of any sources.
CheckUser requested: Whilst I'm of the view that there's likely enough to call this on behaviour (and regardless of socking Bravefencer365 should be blocked for making persistent unsourced changes to articles), given the consistency and the creation of one account straight after the other was blocked I'd like a check for sleepers (and confirmation of the connection, whilst you're there). --Jack Frost (talk) 12:43, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Same behavioural pattern as previous Legaiaflame socks - subtle vandalism in firearm articles, never using an edit summary, Android app editor.
