I've unblocked you. It seems as if blocks are not expiring properly. I assume this has something to do with the new media wiki software. Will somebody in the know please fix this. In the meantime will all admins keep an eye on the list of blocked IP's and manually unblock all blocks whose time has expired.

I may have the same problem, and to make matters worse, I'm not even guilty of the charges The following is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist 07:07, 26 Dec 2004, Gamaliel blocked Jerryseinfeld (expires 07:07, 27 Dec 2004) (contribs) (posting copyvios, removing copyvio notices, was warned and continued) 10:51, 27 Dec 2004, Gamaliel blocked #13444 (expires 10:51, 28 Dec 2004) (Autoblocked because you share an IP address with "Jerryseinfeld". Reason "posting copyvios, removing copyvio notices, was warned and continued".)

Two things here: 1. Unfair if the user is never informed of they were blocked 2. Unfair if someone else uses an IP address they share. In that case the user has CLEARLY not evaded the block. Care to explain how that system is a good thing? TBSDY Skyring wrote:

Is there no way to change it from 24 hrs to something less punitive? To be honest, I don't see that if an admin passes down a so-called "sentence", that it keeps being extended is fair at all. However, just as its true no-one who has ever been blocked has agreed with it, so its true that almost all admins think their block is justified, and see nothing wrong with their actions. If a person wants to circumvent a block, they can and do. The extending block is overly harsh. 24hr block should mean 24 hours, not 48...

24 hours are added on to the sentence each time the same IP address is used to access Wikipedia, even innocently.

Access, or edit? Those are blocks against *editing*. (The developers are aware of this one, btw.) - d.

Each time I check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist I'm on top with a 24 hour forward expiration.
