One of my users cannot edit a page. He is being automatically blocked. How do I remove this auto-block? Un-blocking him won't work.. he is still re-blocked at every edit attempt.
He is using a shared IP with some other users, none of which have been editing pages.
I don't see a whitelist feature in 1.6.5's Special pages. I'd rather just kill this feature since the site is private anyways.
It's odd, since the user is being blocked because that same user has used the same IP before.

Did you try to remove the *autoblock* from Special:Ipblocklist? If not, try to do that. If you did it and it was recreated, the blocked user tried to edit/move/something from the same IP of the autoblocked user after you removed the autoblock.

Yes I tried to remove the user's entry in the blocked users list. (Special:ipblocklist)
Yes it was recreated.
Yes the user tried to edit again. Their IP address does not / can not change.
I don't know what to do to help.. =/
I wanted to follow up on this issue. I'm still not sure what I should be doing to grant edit access to this user. Is there an ip whitelist? Is there a way to disable this auto-blocking?

I now have three users who cannot edit a wiki. They all share the same IP address.
They are being auto-blocked for no discernable reason, and unblocking the user or IP does not seem to allow them to edit the wiki.
Is there a way to turn this blocking feature off? Users are already required to log in to see the wiki.
