The main problem is that he is repeatedly asking almost identical questions and his many users makes it impossible to refer to previous questions/answers/comments. Note he may recently have stopped sending 10 "please answer" comments.

@reuns @vitamind @MartinR @Gary This pestering behaviour and sock creations have been going on for a very long time. They are very easy to detect as the person behind this uses the same tags for every question, in particular [complex-analysis] and [complex-numbers]. I wouldn't answer their questions if I were you, and would instead flag them for moderator attention. @XanderHenderson

There is also this new account.

@XanderHenderson: Just curious, on may 9 I raised 5 flags of the same type. 3 were quickly marked as "helpful" but 2 are still pending. Is there anything different between them that I should be aware of? If there is, please let me know so that I can take it into account when flagging similar behaviour in the future. Thanks!
