Seriously, wtf are you editing as BoN? I'm not trying to be mean, I just would like to know. It looks very sus. 71.208.249.110 (talk) 18:15, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I agree. I have blocked his account (User:Tmtoulouse) in the meantime as a safety precaution. MayGodSaveUsAll (talk) 18:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

What makes this particularly interesting is that, several years ago when I was a regular user here, there was off-wiki speculation that Trent was still active at the site under a sockpuppet, and while I think it's a long shot, it could be that this is true and he is afraid logging in would somehow expose the sockpuppet. It's a long shot I'd like to see ruled out completely. A much more likely scenario is that this mysterious BoN is not really Trent, it could be someone Trent has delegated to act on his behalf for any number of reasons, it could be a troll... Either way would be dishonest and not something I like to see; in the case of the former they could just be transparent about it, in the case of the former the IP needs to be blocked. IMO the IP should be blocked anyway until we can get some kind of confirmation that this is actually Trent and there are no nefarious reasons for his failure to log into his account. It's a simple question demanding a simple answer. If this were Wikipedia and someone editing anon were claiming to be Jimmy Wales, people would be asking these questions. 71.208.249.110 (talk) 19:40, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
