An admin called RickK has blocked 62.252.192.8 (for what seems to me to be a really poor reason: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Abortion". The reason given for Abortion's block is: "troll, offensive user name".)
As can be readily seen from a reverse DNS query, this IP address is a transparent proxy server, use of which is forced upon NTL users (a large UK telco). manc-cache-5.server.ntli.net
a) Could somebody please remove the block, and b) Could we please discuss establishing a policy that requires checking DNS before setting a block, to ensure that this situation does not arise? It is not the first time, and it is irritating to say the least, especially as it only takes a few seconds to check.
Thanks.
