What happened? Did someone ban Anthere? Or did her IP get banned when she logged in with User:Mediator?
This is ridiculous. Maybe we need some tighter controls on the use of the "ban a user id or ip range" feature. Like, three sysops have to approve the ban for it to take effect.
Will someone please do something about this right away so that Anthere can edit, and will the responsible party please step forward and apologize?
I don't see an IP block on en that would hit Anthere; I presume it's already been removed if there was an autoblock to her IP. The 'Mediator' username was blocked by Jimbo.
As Anthere is a sysop on en she should be able unblock herself if she accidentally gets caught like this again, unless there's a technical problem I don't know about (Tim set up the new blocking stuff and I'm not very familiar with it.)
