Editing Help talk:Spam (section) From DoomWiki.org Warning: You are not logged in. Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history. Anti-spam check. Do not fill this in! Good work keeping track of these, Ducon -- it looks like we may need to double-check the block list. -- [[User:128.240.229.65|128.240.229.65]] 10:08, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC) ---- When an IP address (or range) is blocked, does that also prevent edits by logged in users from those machines? [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 03:58, 6 February 2006 (UTC) :I'm pretty sure it [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Accidental_blocks|does]]. Is this an issue at the moment? [[User:Bloodshedder|Bloodshedder]] 04:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC) ::Not that I know of. (If I need to stop posting about crises that haven't happened yet, please tell me. :D It suddenly occurs to me, however, that: ::* Blocking a single IP address blocks everyone else who is using that machine — which could be a lot of people if the machine is in a university classroom, for instance, or in a library. ::* Blocking a range of IP addresses may blacklist an entire office, dorm, or neighborhood [[Doom Wiki:Spam#24.176.247.189|for years]] due to the actions of one user. That seems a bit harsh. :: If a Wikipedia user feels that he has been blocked unfairly, he can contact an admin easily (by e-mail), but that is not the case here — if I can't edit, I can't ask a question on a talk page, and most people don't have IRC and aren't going to get it just for us. (Wikipedia's other suggestion for a dynamic IP address is to change it in a controlled way, which is virtually impossible unless the relevant ISP employee is a personal friend.)
