Received this response from the main account/account with posted articles:

Dear Foundation staff,

I have just gotten your message about me supposedly manipulating voting and sockpuppeting. I assure you that I have not done either of those and I only have one account, being this one. I am unsure as to why I have been accused of this and guarantee that I have always tried my best to follow the site rules. If I have broken any than I am sorry and am unaware, however I assure you that I have not broken any rules regarding manipulating votes nor have I made any alternative accounts.
I assure you that I always aspire to follow the rules and I have never broken any in regards to manipulation of votes by any means or any sockpuppeting.
I would greatly appreciate if this could be sorted out.

Kind regards,
Tinker-013.

I will forward your message to staff.

Main posting account sent me the following message today:

Dear Zyn,

I completely understand if you are unaware of what is happening however are you aware of any updates regarding my ban from the SCP Foundation?
I simply ask as it has been a week now and I still have not heard anything back from any staff or heard anything in regards to my membership status.

Kindest regards,
Tinker-013

Sent back:

As of currently, there have been no updates as the other accounts involved did not respond. Do you know of any friends or family members who joined the SCP wiki around the same time you did, who voted on only your pages?

I have two friends, one whose tag is McNuclear and the other is Bobe1234567890 who both joined recently, I am friends with both of them and as such we view similar pages and often upvote the same ones as we talk to each other about articles we think are good.

Please ask both of your friends to check their wikidot messages and submit appeals for staff to review.

1 minute after the above message from the McNuclear account was sent, the main account sent:

Thank you, I have told both of them and they should have sent an appeal within the next few hours.
I greatly appreciate the support.

About 1.5 hours after the main account message was sent:

After discussing and reviewing the evidence, Disciplinary staff concluded that this isn't a sockpuppeting case but is a case of several friends voting together. The consensus was that the users should be unbanned and warned not to only upvote each other's works or all of the same works, as that can be indistinguishable from brigading.
