that's my point i looked for false positives or any feature that would distinguish these accounts and there was none to be found the unpleasant situation is that we had a user with a history of exactly this sort of problem with a set of circumstances reported by users in good standing that exactly matched sock puppetry i had to make a difficult judgment call per all the available information and the conclusion was a finding of sock puppetry i have invited checkusers and others to review the report everything is available for inspection and comment talk
