Same POV pushing on an already crap article at Fight The New Drug and the IP (obviously not asking for connection) is doing the same at the AFD and talk page, both master account and IP meatsock also seem to share an inability to sign their personal attacks.

All of these accounts are truly single purpose with the respect to the notion of sex addition. The master made one edit back in feb 2017 and then came and added BLP violating content to the MDPI page (article about a journal publisher) about five (!) people involved in publishing an article they clearly don't like, on May 24: diff. That content was transferred to the talk page by an experienced editor who didn't realize it was a BLP violation; i subsequently removed it from there in this diff at 05:56, 25 May 2018.
Before Suuperon showed at MDPI it was active at Sexual addiction and if you look at its history you can see that here NeuroSex removed some content with a dismissive edit note, and the next edit an hour later is by Suuperon, here. You can see how Suuperon's edit note style is the same as Neurosex.

This is a strange small case, in which all three of these accounts have popped up on 14 June 2022 to argue about Gary Wilson (author). I don't think that there are three humans behind the accounts. I don't know if there are two humans or one. This may be some sort of good hand bad hand act, some sort of trolling. (We know that trolls sometimes use sockpuppets.) Two of these accounts have really bizarre mongo names. Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:48, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, please excuse my inexperience with Wikipedia. Thank you for your important work in cleaning up some of the Neurosex sockpuppets on this page: /info/en/?search=Gary_Wilson_(author).
I’ve been a silent observer for some time, and it has been disturbing to witness the many sockpuppet accounts editing porn-related pages with single-minded attention. The same party appears to be behind most (all?) of the 73 suspect accounts listed above. This campaign is long-standing and deeply concerning, involving dozens of fake Wikipedia accounts. Could you please investigate them all and take any appropriate action?
CheckUser on NeuroSex's 70-some suspected Wikipedia aliases is recommended because these aliases are part of a long-standing and extensive Wikipedia sockpuppetry campaign. CheckUser may help confirm the geolocation and other details that could determine whether the same individual runs the accounts.
I also hope you will remove all of the edits by any of these sockpuppets you ban, or have banned in the past. They appear to have been made in bad faith or for self-serving or malicious ends. Can anything be done to prevent future edits by this puppeteer? I did not include "diff" links in this report due to how extensive the situation is and the fact that every single one of the edits made by each of the 70+ sockpuppet accounts merits examination.
It’s especially disturbing that Wikipedia user Tgeorgescu consistently protects, aids and appears to collaborate with Neurosex’s many sockpuppet accounts. This is a long-standing pattern used to maintain control of multiple pages related to pornography. Tgeorgescu ensures that the sockpuppet edits are incorporated while removing good-faith edits by the public. Can he be prevented from doing this? As he too appears to be acting in bad faith, can his edits and protections made in tandem with any of these sockpuppets be reversed? This tag-team campaign has been operating for years and skewing the public’s understanding of porn-related topics.
As you know, Neurosex appears to have created a number of sockpuppet accounts to edit the page concerning Gary Wilson (Author). Tgeorgescu took no action against Neurosex’s sockpuppet accounts. Instead, he incorporated all suggested edits and collaborated with the accounts on the Talk page, going so far as to improve the formatting of the edits of a sockpuppet account. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:Gary_Wilson_(author)&diff=1093106044&oldid=1093105879) This is but one of many such examples of his activities in support of Neurosex's sockpuppetry.
There’s no reason to think the above list of probable Neurosex-related sockpuppet accounts is complete, but it shows a disturbing pattern - and abuse of Wikipedia’s rules. Note: A handful of users in the list above were banned by Wikipedia some time ago (and others more recently), but most have yet to be investigated.
Thank you for considering this request and please excuse my limited Wikipedia skills. Keyhound ( talk) 02:32, 16 June 2022 (UTC) Keyhound ( talk) 02:32, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Pro forma. A new user promoting material critical of Gary Wilson is, from the get-go, much more likely NeuroSex than not. There's a notable writing-style tell that I'm happy to share with any inquiring admin/clerk. Their first talkpage comment seamlessly continues a comment by an OS'd IP (something that's come up with NS in the past), and that and subsequent ones all call for reinsertion of material that was in NS' version of the article. If this isn't NS, it has to be someone working with them—but I think it's them. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 02:03, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

This may well not matter, since NS often abandons their accounts, but it's recent enough I feel it's worth blocking.

Reported by Keyhound on my user talk page. New user, competent at sourcing, beeline straight to NoFap ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), clear POV, sometimes poorly-sourced edits, broadly on-brand username. Seems likely to me. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 21:19, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
First edit is to request addition of a study by Nicole Prause at Talk:NoFap, which is about as classic NeuroSex behavior as you'll get. Still, not quite distinctive enough to warrant a duckblock. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 17:25, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
New account whose first edits are to defend Nicole Prause in the context of NoFap. On the other hand, writing style isn't quite what we've seen with the past few (but not so different as to be dispositive in the other direction). Hoping CU evidence will shed some light. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 07:00, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Reported on my talk a week and a half ago by Keyhound, but I'm only just able to get to this. Username, page, and modus operandi all seem right, but I'd like to hear from CU before deciding on whether to block. (Even if this is a throwaway, worth figuring out for WP:BANREVERT reasons.) -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 16:22, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
Reported on my talkpage by Keyhound. Similar behavior to past sox, jumping in to Talk:NoFap with new studies. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she|they|xe) 20:06, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Noticed that this user had been reported on Tamzin’s talk page, but not yet had an update/any action taken. I’m not personally familiar with the sockmaster, but a brief check of the user’s contribs and the NeuroSex SPI archive page show similarities. Also, previous reports from Keyhound on Tamzin’s talk have been confirmed, so I thought it was worth bringing here for extra eyes if nothing else.
