3 new accounts which vote together

I suspect these 3 accounts are owned by same person or associated with each others:

https://musicbrainz.org/user/johnminaj (joined 2019-07-23)
https://musicbrainz.org/user/paulcharles (joined 2019-07-25)
They are all voting yes on same edits:

I suggest you edit the title of this thread to something neutral.
Maybe “3 new accounts which vote together”.

And even better also use the “Report this user for bad behavior” function.
You can find this by clicking on the editors’ usernames. Down towards the bottom is the link.

Who they are voting for could also be interesting. :wink:

I wonder if these 3 editors are somehow related to the editors that submitted the edits that they voted on. 3 of the editors are beginners and the last one is an editor who keeps submitting bad data very often. For example this edit of theirs has a 1 day voting period remaining and is currently going to pass because of the sockpuppet voting: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/63176625.

I wonder what’s going on recently as I keep seeing reports of bad editor/voter behavior more frequently.

Edit: Looks like @jesus2099 beat me by a minute there :slight_smile:
