The suspected sock template does not summon checkusers and nor should it. You should either send a request to a checkuser vie email, or use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SPI ... the process is much faster then it used to be. (SPI is the replacement for RFCU and SSP).
Contacting the arbcom though is probably the most prudent course of action, and arbcom will take care of getting cu's involved and like.
