Description Effeietsanders 2006-07-21 23:02:46 UTC 
Since bug 550 is resolved, blocked users are allowed to create users. The dutch
entry in the log is then:
21 jul 2006 22:46 Occulair (Overleg | bijdragen | blokkeer) Maakte een account
voor Gebruiker:Effe Iets Andersd, Dan???Froggy (Overleg | bijdragen | blokkeer)
(don't know the english one)
Through some page users are allowed to create accounts. This possibility is not
blocked when a user is blocked, not even when the IP is prevented to create
users. The created users seem not to be able to edit. A troll on nl.wp is using
this leak, and creating accounts, and trolling that way. If this could be fixed,
please. It could be temporarily fixed by taking away the createuser-ability from
all logged-in users on nl.wikipedia , though, this is not perfect, as all wiki's
will have the same problem. Thanks.

This was fixed a while ago, however some individual blocks from 
before the fix are incorrectly set.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2006-07-22 06:45:35 UTC 
Old items were not properly converted, I've fixed them.
