Description Dan Jacobson 2007-01-14 11:20:56 UTC On Special:Blockip kindly say that all you do is block the offender from editing articles. That way it won't come as a shock that the offender is still enjoying one's site to his heart's content according to a quick glance at one's apache logs, despite being "blocked". Comment 1 Andrew Garrett 2007-01-14 11:22:06 UTC ... The page says "block write access"; not 'block all access'. Seems fairly clear to me.
