I am user:Eyeon. Sysop:SlimVirgin has wrongly suspended me, accusing me

using sockpuppets (user:niglet and user:fecologist) to get around 3rr.
[[User:Eyeon]] has been causing trouble around a number of articles for some time, including [[Feces]], where she's trying to insert a photograph of a human turd against the wishes of the editors on the page. She's has already been blocked twice for 3RR on that page, once by me, and several editors have said her behavior is troll-like.
Today, Eyeon and two new accounts, Niglet and Fecologist, started reverting at [[Feces]] to the version with the photograph. Eyeon and Fecologist reverted six times in 10 hours. I therefore blocked Eyeon for a 3RR violation, and blocked the two new accounts indefinitely as sockpuppets created to violate 3RR. I also protected the page in case Eyeon turned up with more sockpuppets, and to give the other editors a rest from having to revert. I've made it clear on the talk page that I'll unprotect if the other editors want to edit.
Eyeon has e-mailed me several times insisting the new accounts were not controlled by her, and requesting an IP check. I wonder about the value of that, as she may have asked friends to set up the accounts for her, which would still make them sockpuppets. I've put a request for advice as to how to proceed on [[WP:AN/I]]. If anyone here has ideas, or feels I should assume good faith and unblock, please let me know.
