Description John Lucero 2005-02-25 21:19:35 UTC when blocking an IP i noticed that it only prevents them from editing a page, i suggest passing the ip to the apache for completly blocking an offender, instead of just limiting their abilities.. Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2005-02-25 21:37:09 UTC Many/most IP addresses are shared or dynamically assigned. We don't want to block legitimate visitors from even *reading* the wiki if they are unlucky enough to share an IP with a jerk.
