The "Effects of being blocked" section of the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy
page, states that "users can still see all Wikipedia pages", Which might be
interpreted as looking at pages is OK. Further down in that section however,
it states:
"There is an internal autoblock expiry time variable, which is set to 24 hours,
meaning that when a username is blocked indefinitely, their IP will be automatically
unblocked 24 hours after they last accessed a page."
This refers just to the "access" of a page, for an indefinite block. Now was I
blocked "indefinitely" rather than "The duration of the block depends on
the expiry time that was entered at the time of the block"?

I just accessed the archives for this list, does
anyone know it autoblock
increments the time for this also? The address is

The "User is blocked" page that gets
returned when I try to edit, states that
reading of pages is allowed. yet each time I read, or even when I just access
the blocked list, the time at which my block expires as shown by the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist
page pushes out the 24 hour expiration, so it is not OK to read, even the
blocklist page the the documentation refers one to.
