I was browsing through some topics in the wikipedia this morning, without problem.  This afternoon, I find myself ip-blocked.

 

I have never edited or attempted to edit a page.  I don't even have a login for the site.

 

If it's a mass ban, fine.  However, I am not signing up with a login simply to tell them I've been banned for no apparent reason, when all I'm doing is reading.

 

If you don't want people browsing through your site, then make the pages unaccessible unless logged in.  Or, don't make it possible to block ips for people who aren't editing or logging in.

 

I was finding what I was reading interesting.  However, I guess now I'll just go elsewhere.  If you actually want page hits and readership you might want to think about your policies.  I already feel like the amount of time I've wasted even emailing you far outweighs anything of interest I found there.
