Hello folks,

I have just submitted a patch to the problem, that sometimes a user is blocked longer than is intended. The problem is described as following and is submitted as Bug 856 in Bugzillar:

If a user is blocked, say for 2 hours. And he tries to make some edit though. Then the IP he uses would be also blocked for the timespan. If he tries to make some edit a second time, then his IP would be blocked for another day, exceeding the priviosly defined 2 hours.

The patch I submitted should fix this bug. The auto-block should never exceed the user-block in any case.

Thanks Ting
