Good morning,

I've just coded this user for sock puppetry.

http://wordpress.org/support/profile/easycron

The user was previously replying to old topics with "Use my easycron plugin
and service" (which I'm not overly fond of people replying to old topics
that way but hey, you know what the heck).

I noticed another user doing the same too which set off the distant whistle
for me.

And since I can't ignore a dog whistle (it's a tragic thing for me *drinks
more coffee*) I noticed that this user account had been doing the exact
same thing too.

http://wordpress.org/support/profile/luo2013

It's the same user. So I blocked the new accounts, deleted the posts from
the 2 sock puppets and cleaned up the original account's posts.

Thanks,

Jan Dembowski
