Family members[edit]

See Template talk:User shared IP address private

@user:HIAS I have redirected Template:Userbox/User shared Network to Template:User shared IP address. If you follow through the conversation (in See Template talk:User shared IP address private) you will see an example of another generic user box that existed before (Template:User shared IP address private) it was redirected here because "This user shares an IP address with: Username." reduces the chance of an sockmaster being able to hide behind the family/shared network argument. See for example user:Xn4,Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Xn4 and User talk:Umar Zulfikar Khan#Account blocked indefinitely. -- PBS (talk) 10:32, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Blade-of-the-South/Archive example of another sock master who tried to use a family member defence. -- PBS (talk) 10:29, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
