I found several different meanings for mining that looked like they were "mixed up," and I'm trying to sort it out. and I've only been able to find information that has to do with computers and cryptocurrency that can be put in similar categories. 2600:8805:9017:EE00:80F4:5D5F:5EC6:C1C9 (talk) 02:32, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@2600:8805:9017:EE00:80F4:5D5F:5EC6:C1C9: sorry about that! I was using an automated tool, and just saw that you were removing a bunch of pages. In the future, you may want to consider using edit summaries so we know what you're planning on doing! – Frood (talk) 02:45, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am asking for help in filing a long term abuse report for User:Lokicat3345; he has been a prolific sock master with dozens if not hundreds of socks. He has been active since at least August of 2023. He was indefinitely blocked and then later site banned (by the community) because of it. I have even been fooled before by his socks. As for what I know about Lokicat and his M.O; and this might not necessarily be his entire M.O.:

I do know that most (but not necessarily all) of his sock puppets tend to use username that involve cats and/or tornadoes; and many of them also tend to use the phrase “is cool” or “are cool” or something along those lines in his username (eg. User:Meatballrunfatcat, User:Catsarecool558, User:Fatkittensarecool, User:Tornadoesarecool13, and User:Tornadoesandcats3712 among many others. There have been a few exceptions such as User:Weather article creator, User:Futuremeterologist, User:Creeperboy22011, User:Chicken nuggets are delicious, and User:Jesus is the only way to eternal life; but most have followed usual naming conventions.

He has been known to edit under IPs as well. He tends to disrupt weather related articles by adding unsourced information; and suggest on talk pages that articles by written (again without citing any reliable sources). He also tends to glorify destructive events. He was apparently also blocked on the Hypothetical Tornadoes Wiki for disruption there. See WT:LTA as I have a link to an archived talk page with some information on Lokicat. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 20:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll also add that based on prior SPIs; Lokicat lives in Nebraska and the geolocations of his suspected IP socks generally trace back to the Omaha metro area or at least close to it. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 00:07, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
