Is there a given anon IP address be blocked from editing unless it signs up with an account? I think this would be quite useful in situations of persistent vandalism from high schools or libraries, etc.
It would just say something like, "This IP is blocked from editing anonymously because of past problems with vandalism, but you are free to start an account and then you can edit all you want" or something like that. Is this possible?
Would that make it harder to stop sockpuppets?
Jay.
