sock puppeteer? You decide

Q&A answers. Either this guy has a real fan or he's sock-puppetting his answers. [Edit] Pulled the link to give OP a chance to respond to gentle suggestions.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

The number of "solutions" that are utter crap but upvoted was my trigger on this guy. (Just to provide insight as to what tipped me off.)

I have seen that. But it seems to me that he has many answers marked as solution from many different questioneers. I'll give you a feedback as soon as I am through all.

I'm not worried about those. Those are valid as such, even if the answers are really not great. The concerning this is simply the consistency of his answer being the only +5 on the page, even when his solution is accepted along with others this tends to be the case, so there was a clear targeting of his answers.

Spent 3 quarter hours investigating on this guy. Still not sure about him... 3 bad things caught my eye: - As you said - there are many of his answers were voted 5. Seems suspicious to me but somehow this is not the final proof I was looking for. - He has answered 3 questions of "Member 8054539". Maybe this is his sock puppet? - He is always begging for likes like "plz vote and accept ans if it helps.:)" Whenever the OP had further questions for his solution he answered to them. To be honest: Even after diving deeper into his answers I just can suggest around because he seems like an active member to me (or he was once active). In my opinion there should be the possibility to give him a slight nudge. Maybe one of the Admins can talk / send an email to him before we just nuke his account, what do you think?
