Range blocks
Hiya I saw you recent post at the village pump, and thought I'd come an teach you how you could have done it.
Firstly do a reverse DNS check to see the internet provider. If it's AOL give up. AOL is far too large, has far too many computers for you to ba able to block the vandal.You'll sucseed in blocking loads of legit users and probably won't get the actual vandal.
Assuming it's not AOL then proceed as follows,
64.12.116.10 through 64.12.117.22
Set the last digits to 0 64.12.116.0 ->> 64.12.117.0
do two /24 blocks 64.12.116.0/24 and 64.12.117.0/24 that will block a total of 512 IPs
Stick to /24 only if you are at all unsure about what you are doing. Note that /31 will block fewer than /24 and /16 will block a lot more. Never go lower than /16 ( I don't you you can in actual fact anyway) Also since range blocks catch innocents as well as vandals keep them short. Policy is 24 hours only I think.

Stress
You always seem to be under a lot of stress, what with dealing with trolls and vandals and people who just don't get it. Relax and have a cookie. You'll feel better (food allergies excepted). -- Cyrius|✎ 06:18, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Farce
Hi! About Zahra Kazemi trail. Iran admited that Zahra Kazemi was killed (load word) in prison. Various official reports talk about torture, phisically attack, damaged body (load words). The article is full of load words.
A farce is a comedy written for the stage, or a film, which aims to entertain the audience by means of unlikely and extravagant yet often possible situations, disguise and mistaken identity, verbal humour of varying degrees of sophistication, which may include puns and sexual innuendo, and a fast-paced plot whose speed usually increases even further towards the end of the play, often involving an elaborate chase scene. Broad physical humor, and deliberate absurdity or nonsense, are also commonly employed in farce.
I think this is the right word about that trial: an exemplar farce with a threatening message for Iranians. --Vasile 01:49, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
