I have been blocked by "Can't sleep, clown

vandalism for several days". When I asked why(I don't believe I didn't
anything to briech Wikipedia code), he gave no response. When I checked how
long I would be blocked for I noticed "Can't sleep, clown will eat me" has
blocked many many users for the same accusation, I believe "Can't sleep,
clown will eat me" has been blocking people as a joke. I am also blocked
from editing my own user page.
Ack. CSCWEM blocked this IP for vandalism as stated above. Checking
the contributions, I see a mixture of good and bad edits, and checking
the talk page, I confirm the suspicion that this is a proxy. In fact,
it's a massive proxy serving a lot of the TNG customers in the
Brisbane area.
I've advised the user that 99 hour blocks on major proxies are not
options when dealing with vandalism and asked him to remove it as soon
as possible.
