Description spacebirdy 2009-06-15 22:13:39 UTC Due to abuse, an IP is only globally blocked if there is massive abuse, it should be blocked from resetting passwords too, because this is abused to annoy blocking admins. Thanks. Comment 1 Cary Bass 2009-06-16 16:55:27 UTC This is a very high priority bug; stewards are starting to get password resets daily from banned IPs.
