If it's Trevon.turner.351, then he's made close to 1000 edits across all of Wikia and has been active for at least eight months. AnonymousDuckLover is in a similar situation, given that they have made nearly 9000 edits across Wikia and has been around since at least late 2012. I really doubt that Devil made his sockpuppets that far in advance.

If it's Sonicgirl124 you are talking about, then she created an account 20 minutes before Volcanator5678 was blocked. I didn't give any indication that I had sent a CheckUser request this time, so barring Devil being clairvoyant or something, I doubt that that account is a sockpuppet.

At any rate, I don't believe that any of the users who joined the wiki recently are Devil.

What I hate those is that we seem to be the only ones catching on. Meanwhile admins are thinking it's normal for someone to join right after Devil is banned again and talk just like Devil. Nope, nothing strange here. Regarding this part: it's just that there's a fine line between suspicion based on legitimate factors and paranoia. Suspecting a user based on them making a bunch of forum posts and user blog comments in a similar style to those made by Devil is the former; doing the same based on a user creating an account and making a bunch of userpage edits (I also might point out that none of Devil's accounts have put as much effort into their profiles as Trevon has) is the latter.

Believe me, I'm just as much on the lookout for Devil's sockpuppets as anyone else. It's just...we can give users a chance to make some edits before jumping to conclusions, you know?
