Always good to copy and paste the relevant text. You remember what happened with Mr. Gerard.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=...sop:_User:Cool3
QUOTE

Emergency desysop: User:Cool3

Cool3 (talk · contribs) has been temporarily desysopped because the account has been certified by checkusers as a confirmed sockpuppet of a banned user. The desysop was done under emergency procedures and was in turn certified by Arbitrators Rlevse, Mailer diablo and SirFozzie.

For the Arbitration Committee, Roger Davies talk 23:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Indefinitely blocked

You have been indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet account of a banned user, Thekohser, certified by two checkusers. Roger Davies talk 23:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Where'd Limey go?

Oh, they are probably right. But who cares? Arbcom saves the day by banning him, even though (as Cool3) he's only been useful. Arbcom does not like useful people who write articles.

Kudos to him for getting away with it for so long behind the incompetent arbcom's back, but it kind of goes against his "Wikipedia sucks" meme.

Why do I have the feeling that if we had "let it slide", and it came out we knew about it, you'd be attacking us for that instead, Alex?

I have no idea, I don't control your feelings. I would do no such thing.

Wow, and editing like he was Cla68. Really a founder of WikiProject NATO? Who knew?

Here's the last RfA from June 09. Bland as they come.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Req...minship/Cool3_4

I wonder what the emergency was, BTW? Wasn't Kohs banned for proposing to edit for money? What a sin. Jeeze, louise, you'd think they'd just discovered Cool3 was GRAWP.

What about WP:startover? Or whatever the WP redemption process is called? Whatever it is, hasn't Cool3 fulfilled it about as well as anybody could expect anybody to?

Yes, Wikipedia does indeed suck. Also, it is becoming my opinion that JulianColton and Roger Davies suck particularly.

It wasn't an emergency. It was embarrassment that Thekohser had fooled everyone.

But this is just embarrassing for Thekohser, with an editing history like this.

It's possible that Cool3 might have been a sock of another banned user, and sold the account to thekohser. Let's see his reaction to this first? Any thoughts Greg?

This just goes to show that, yet again, RFA is a total farce and is completely meaningless.

Was it? Thank heavens you told us - SirFozzie and I might have been thinking we'd done it for a completely different set of reasons otherwise. I truly bow before your ability to know what people are thinking through the internet.

Well there was an admin account on the auction block a few months ago.

Ah, it was my response to your apparent omniscience in "knowing" that we desysopped for reasons of embarrassment, when you actually have no knowledge to back that up, bar your general (and sometimes understandable) disdain for things Arbcom-related. I'm certainly not feeling any embarrassment at present - not sure how you'd know/think otherwise.

No, I expect you're feeling quite pleased you've kicked off another good editor.

Pong.

On a side note, I worked with Cool3 on a number of articles, some of which are featured. Where am I going to get offline sources now? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/unhappy.gif)

Certainly no arbitrator will bother helping, just like they won't create Ottava's articles. They have won The Game, that's all that matters here.
