Typically the blocking admin remembers to remove these after the block expires. -Snowspinner On Sep 9, 2005, at 4:59 PM, SPUI wrote: _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

Do you really think thats what typically happens? Why do we have an autoblocker? Isn't it adding insult to injury?

It has its use in preventing someone blocked from simply logging out, but it's horribly broken and the devs seem to not care. And before anyone tells me to submit code for it, send me the appropriate material to learn to program and wait a few years.

The blocking admin should have left a message to that effect for the blocked user.

Do your part and kill a deletionist today.

The fact that that was done following discussion and for good reasons. It was aimed at being complete. Your move seemed to be no more than trolling. You should have realised that that kind of move was bound to create dissent and distaste. If you want to move the pages back, I suggest discussing it first.
