That's exactly right. This wouldn't replace anything as is, it would just augment. I'm getting real sick of high school IP addresses that vandalize and then say, "Oh, must have been someone else." Better to just lock that down at a level where you can leave a message and be sure it is getting to the right person. But only in situations where it has been shown to be a recurrent problem, of course.

They're not always lying, though. I have my own IP when I edit from my room, but if I use the shared labs downstairs, I have to use one which could be any one of about four thousand students. I've had to unblock it a few times before - in cases like this, such a block would be really useful, though.
