Introduction
This may come as a shock to many of you as it did for me. I don't want things like this to happen, but it is something we cannot ignore. It is also necessary that the defendant has a right to explain themselves and a right to a fair trial.
To sum this up, the act that has been committed has been confirmed by an IP address check by an ESB administrator, along with Wikia Staff, as well as an admission from the defendant in a private message.
Many of you know Auron~Guardian for the 2,500+ contributions here at ESB over the past three years. He has helped improve the quality of content on the wiki and has contributed a few ideas as to the wiki's growth.
On October 1, 2014, it was discovered that Auron~Guardian and Riku KH are one and the same. This creates a difficult situation that must be dealt with and the entire community must know what has happened.
Explanation of case
Actions taken
As a result of Auron's sockpuppetry the following actions have been taken:
- 1. The account "Riku KH" has had all powers removed.
- 2. The account "Riku KH" has been given an infinite block.
- 3. Auron~Guardian has been demoted as a Rollback and chat moderator
- 4. Auron~Guardian has been disqualified from UOTM for 6 months.
Further actions to be taken is dependent on the community discussion.
Summary of violations
- 1. Abuse of multiple accounts (sock puppetry)
- 2. Lying and deception in regards to the accounts at communities including ESB and SBG
- 2a. Stated several times that Riku was a friend

- 3c. Nominated himself for UOTM using his sock puppet account
- 3d. Community discussions
- 4. Hesitant to admit to actions while waiting for confirmation from Wikia Staff
Specific policy violations
The following is a list of specific policy violations according to ESB policies:
- 1. "Each user is only allowed one account, unless you have a good reason that can be approved by the administration. In that event, all users must identify themselves as the owner of the accounts on the user pages." (General I-1)
- 2. The integrity of the Discussions section is compromised by voter fraud.
- 3. The integrity of the Administration section is compromised by voter fraud.

Punishment: immediate removal of rights, and suspension from receiving any rights until further discussed, 6 month block, 1 year suspension from becoming an admin, and an 8 month suspension from becoming UOTM.
Auron has blantaly deceived the entire community, and deserves to be severely punished. I cannot convey how sad I am over this turn of events... A user who was trusted, and one for whom we had high expectations. I... I just feel so disappointed. :(

Punishment: no block if he handles this discussion well, 18 month suspension from promotion, with a discussion every 6 months to consider lowering the punishment, along with keeping the 6 month disqualification from UOTM.
Auron has great contributions and is a great member of the community, so I don't believe a block is necessary. However, there must be consequences, and I have proposed an 18 month suspension from any promotion, while having a discussion every 6 months to consider lowering such. The lying and deception cannot be tolerated, and this discussion itself is perhaps punishment as well. I am appalled by such events. We cannot shove things under the rug and the fact that Auron wanted this to be hidden shows that he is not trustworthy to be an administrator, or promoted for that matter. I really wish it wouldn't have come to this. I was just supporting his admin request less than 48 hours ago. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 04:42, October 2, 2014 (UTC)

Punishment: remove ALL rights he has anywhere on SpongeBobia, and 10 months-3 years block on ESB (cause of HOW LONG it was on ESB before now, on top of how many policies he violated at once), 2-9 month block on FSB, cause his Riku account was on FSB as well, might lower the punishment if he cooperates, might in increase it if he harasses others about it, 1 year ban from the UOTM, 2 year ban from becoming admin, and a 2 year ban from gaining ANY rights at all
well, you did it, if i were to describe my feelings now, you aren't as bad as Road was back then, cause this is a simple sockpuppeting, but, Auron, what you did here, is pretty much showing that you DIDN'T keep your promises, face it Auron, you disappointed Andrew, you disappointed Joseph, you let ESB down, why did you think this was a good idea at all, you knew it was against rules, but you did it anyway, i might have sockpuppeted too, but the reasons i sockpuppeted in the past (the other times were not on ESB), was either i got hacked , or when i 1st joined ESB, 120d falsely blocked me for no reason, and 456 changed my block from I.P block to just that account block, and then i talked with 456 and Andrew about my false block on another account, and then Andrew unblocked me, but why did you do it, if you say why, maybe the community can forgive you, at this point, you are pretty hated by most users on ESB, but i'll be willing to give you another chance when you are ready, but for now, you'll have to suffer the consequences for your actions, when your block ends, and you want to climb back up to the top, let me know, and you might be able to redeem yourself. --Tominator777 (talk) 05:35, October 2, 2014 (UTC)
- A bit too strong I think. No one hates anyone. It's a matter of shock and disappointment. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 08:58, October 2, 2014 (UTC)
Yeah, I think "hate" might be an overstatement for what happened, and I know that not everyone would hate him, the reason I used it is cause their doesnt seem to be a word that means "a person that caused disappointment", so in other words, he is more of a disappointment than hated.--Tominator777 (talk) 13:15, October 2, 2014 (UTC)

Punishment: Removable of rights and unable to request for any other position until further notice.
Wow...so this is what happened last night after I left. I came back this morning to get some edits in until I saw this. Man, I never thought that Auron will have a sockpuppet account and for so long. I'm kinda sad that he even allowed the sockpuppet account to have rollback rights like that. Not to have Tom put words in my mouth but agreeing with AMK, I am just shocked to hear about this. It's not a sockpuppet account to evade a block but it is a sockpuppet account that creates deception and that is against the rules. A block isn't really necessary but there have to be consequences for these actions. I don't hate you personally Auron, just your actions. And I was going to vote you next for UOTM by the way...
