Spammer inserting links to themearound.com, see sole edit by Themearound (Special:Diff/1167940689), then edits by Shaonmurphy (Special:Diff/1206326642 and Special:Diff/1206152183), and contribs by IPs. I suspect there may be additional accounts and believe they should be blocked for block evasion/spamming if they exist. I am requesting a checkuser per WP:CHK#Grounds_for_checking, specifically to prevent vandalism, sockpuppetry and disruption (actual or potential) on Wikimedia projects. —Locke Cole • t • c 07:57, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- Forgot to mention IP connection (beyond trying to spam the same domain), when Themearound was blocked indefinitely it was 103.60.189.0 (part of the same ASN as the 103.60.188.* IPs according to WHOIS) that replied on the user talk page (Special:Diff/1168366799). —Locke Cole • t • c 17:22, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
