[WikiEN-l] Blocked because of constant spam?

[MacGyverMagic/Mgm]

Often blocks like this are for a mere 24 hours, so he should get
access back quite soon.

If not, it would help to know the username and IP address he was using
at the time, the latter of which could be seen if you click edit while
blocked. Without it, it's very hard to determine who to unblock,
because the site blocks spammers and vandals on a regular basis, which
means yesterday a few hundred or thousands of blocks were performed.

Sincerely,

My son just discovered your website yesterday 8-18-05 and was very excited to find such an website where he can edit his own information about his favorite  singers Shania Twain, Britney Spears, etc.  As he was new to your site he had some problems with the posting of the information he was editing, which I believe is the reason for the accused constant spamming.  Please rethink your decision on having him blocked as this could happen to any new user to your site.
