A little late, but welcome[edit]

Here is the standard welcome message:

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address (or network) has been used abusively.
This address (or network) has been blocked temporarily or permanently to prevent further abuse.

In extreme cases, an entire network may be blocked to prevent an abusive user from continually changing their IP address in order to evade blocks or abusing multiple accounts. If you are a registered user and are seeing this message, please follow these instructions.

Administrators: CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy, and therefore must be consulted before this block can be removed.

Users: If you already have an account in good standing, you may request IP block exemption to bypass this block. Post an unblock request to your user talk page.

This blocked user's request to have autoblock on their IP address lifted has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

Block message:

Blocking administrator: Luna Santin (talk • blocks)

Decline reason: No response to query in three days — Daniel Case (talk) 16:25, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since this is a checkuser block, it almost certainly will not be lifted, but there may be other options available depending on the reason for the block. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 23:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure as to reason for block. Understand why shared IP addresses may be blocked, but do not understand why block remains when logged into an account in good standing? Aml81 (talk) 10:31, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some IP blocks are "soft blocks" that don't affect logged-in users. Others are "hard blocks" that do; these are used when there is a concern that a persistent vandal is able to create accounts via other connections, or may have sleeper accounts. I'll notify Luna Santin about this. Mango juice^talk 14:10, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've gotten a response back from the blocking administrator, and it seems this IP address was blocked as an open proxy and also in response to some vandalism characteristic of a long-term vandal. Is there some particular reason you're editing from this network, or is this what you normally edit from? Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
