This is a place where users can communicate with administrators, or administrators with one another. You can report vandalism, problematic users, or anything else that needs an administrator's intervention. Do not report child pornography or other potentially illegal content here; e-mail legal-reportswikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergencywikimedia.org.
Vandalism []	User problems []	Blocks and protections []	Other []
Report users for clear cases of vandalism. Block requests for any other reason should be reported to the blocks and protections noticeboard.

Other reports that require administrator assistance which do not fit in any of the previous three noticeboards may be reported here. Requests for history merging or splitting should be filed at COM:HMS.

South Carolina billboards LTA

Brandontreadaway31 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user

Multiple vandal edits today. Sockpuppet of LTA User:Blackjohnson76. Three seperate sock accounts in this files's history for instance: File:South Carolina Guns & Knife Show Billboard.png. All socks focus on South Carolina billboard photos and edit each other's uploads and/or repeat past vandalism. All uploads are photos taken with iPhone 16.

The history of File:Boat Show Billboard.jpg shows the connection between User:Brandontreadaway31 and the master User:Blackjohnson76. Other sock puppets:

• User:Mattwalker4444 (blocked indef)
• User:Brandontreadaway28
• User:Yukibetts
• User:Gilbertandersonjr
• User:Mussi905
• User:Robinwilkins102

There's probably more socks, but this is what I've had time to find so far. Geoffroi 23:37, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

@Elcobbola: Pinging you as the blocking admin/checkuser of the master account User:Blackjohnson76. Geoffroi 23:49, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Partially done. Accounts all indef-blocked, but there are a lot of uploads here; some may be OK, some can be speedy-deleted, others might need DRs. If someone would rather just take an axe to all of them, I won't complain. - Jmabel ! talk 20:07, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Great work, thank you. I would support nuking all the uploads, considering this sockmaster returns to them and uses them as a prop in his vandalism. Geoffroi 21:00, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
