Description Andrew Garrett 2010-04-06 03:54:11 UTC 
When an address is autoblocked, their blocked status is displayed on their contributions page, along with the last block log entry for that IP address. This is misleading, and implies that the most recent explicit block made on that IP address is still active.
Comment 1 Mormegil 2010-12-11 11:47:28 UTC 
…and sysops are offered to “change the block” (not to block the IP address) and “unblock”, which does not work.

Also, this is technically a privacy violation, even though it is only a theoretical construction. :-)
