:: 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)


::Dysprosia I am not trying to make a major debate out of this. I am simply concerned for the well being of the Wikipedia service that's all and with users like 65.110.6.34 lurking about the integrity of the Wikipedia service may be seriously compromised especially by those users whose sole purpose is to commit havoc and vandalism I have to be very concerned.

::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)
