That's not "all edits blocked", just "can't create new accounts".
Is that possible? I don't remember seeing an option anywhere to do that. You can block anonymous edits and account creation and tell people to email the unblock mailing list to get accounts created for them - that's your best option, I think.
I misunderstood the flags; testing it, I clarified to myself that indeed, as you noted, I can't do what I wanted to.
I'm not willing to block all of New York City's public library IP space just for this one vandal. They're annoying but not horribly destructive enough to justify that. I'm semiprotecting articles and hoping that they don't have the patience to create sleeper accounts and wait out the new user timeout.
