: Yes I understand that Dysprosia but this has been going on for more than a couple of months. It has become a cat and mouse game, they vandalize a few Wiki pages the admins ban them for 24 hours and when the ban is lifted they go and vandalize again, the admins ban again and we're back to step one all over again. It has to stop! that is not the purpose of Wikipedia to be a forum for non-stop vandalism. [[User: Misterrick|Misterrick]] 06:19, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

:: Read my response at the vandalism page. We cannot technically permanently block an anonymous IP. The best we can do is continue to block users for vandalism for 24 hours. It is not so difficult to rolling-block contributors here for vandalism. 
:: What about genuine users who wish to contribute under this IP, in any case? Perhaps we need to contact the proxy-provider. [[User:Dysprosia|Dysprosia]] 06:23, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)


::As I said - it's not one user sitting at one computer, in fact it's a web server, not a computer you sit down on.  If you go to [[http://www.proxyweb.net/] and type in Wikipedia's address, and try to edit a page, you will get a ban message for this IP number.  Anyone who wants to can go to that site and their edits will show up as this IP number - the point is to allow people to surf the web anonymously, without cookies and such, but it's being abused (probably by several people) to vandalize here.  -- [[User:Pakaran|Pakaran]] 06:22, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
