But it DOES function that way and it IS an intentional feature. It is to stop people block-evading.
How is logging into your normal account (the one that the block was placed for the in the first place) and hitting edit a block evasion? That's like saying you're evading an arrest warrant by presenting your real id to the police when they ask for one.
That's exactly what it did, I hit edit a couple times while logged in as User:Njyoder to reread the block page and to see if it still showed the source and it auto-renewed. That's NOT intentional as it serves no purpose whatsoever.
The purpose is to prevent them from using sock puppets and to prevent them from logging off and doing it, not to renew it when they log in with their main account.
