Situation: Sockmaster, very persistent, has been
going for a month
plus, editing from a major city's public library system using IP

more recently.
Articles have been semi-protected in many cases, but... I am wondering
if it would be considered abusive to do a "can't create new users from
these addresses" IP block on the range of IPs used for those
libraries.
That's not "all edits blocked", just "can't create new
accounts".
Comments?
Is there a method for people who aren't socks who want to edit from
that library to apply for accounts?
Great question.
I know that if you try and edit while there's a "can't edit pages"
block, you get a block message telling you to email the "unblock-en-l"
list.
I don't know what happens if you're IP blocked from setting up
accounts, and try to set up an account. I will test that and get back
to everyone.
Apparently I misunderstood the IP block options, I can't do that
selectively after all.
nevermind!
