* Why not allow a scheme which disallows writes for blocked IP's unless a non-blocked account logs in? Seems like it should be cookie-tolerant and still solve the problem. Sorry no account, I don't edit often and encountered this while doing research on how to manage mediawiki sites. :) To expound, this type of "special block" could also inhibit the creation of new accounts with instant editing privledges (perhaps requiring special approval to get around these kinds of blocks). I imagine those who like to whistleblow, etc via proxies would appreciate such a feature. :)" |

Revision as of 19:15, 16 February 2006
I just pulled the following list items from the article, as they do not seem to be proper content:
"Please look at User:WBardwin/AOL Block Collection for one such legitimate user who is hit very often. Consider adding User:JRM/unblock to your watchlist; see the top of my talk page for further information. JRM · Talk 22:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Would it be possible to write a script or some other program to, once a shared IP is identified, block that IP from editing (permanently?), replacing the edit result with a notice that the user must register an account before contributing? If this exists already, should we use it in this manner? RadioKirk talk to me 23:07, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
