If you have an email ending in @hotmail.com, @live.com or @outlook.com (or any other Microsoft-related domain), please consider changing it to another email provider; Microsoft decided to instantly block the server's IP, so emails can't be sent to these addresses.
If you use an @yahoo.com email or any related Yahoo services, they have blocked us also due to "user complaints"

But you never had any to begin with.
I can't be the only one who sees a major flaw in this plan, right?

(Yes, this is on TVTropes.)

    It's to keep out the recent spam influx while they find a better way to handle it.

    Is this supposed to be to stop spammers?

    She said there was a flaw in the plan. I'm indeed aware of what is going on and why, though.

    It creates rather big problems when an IP block for a banned user affects a legit user.

    Also, it may be just me, but I've been able to use my sockpuppets without changing IP addresses...>_>

    You can switch to sockpuppets, but you can't make new ones.

    Well I suppose I don't have to be scared of being banned for having too many sockpuppets now...

    Oh, that explains it.

    I wanted to make a Sherlock sockpuppet the other day. Couldn't do it. The world was a sadder place. ;_;

    I hate to think how many IPs my existence has blocked off. Whee, dynamic IP! :<

    The really, really stupid part is that it assumes there will never be more than one legitimate user on the same IP address.

    Meh.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    Is there any way possible to simply ban a computer from editing rather than an internet connection?
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    @ninjaclown:Actually, it's pretty simple. All you need to do is determine where the offending computer is, go there and smash it with a sledgehammer.
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    Ahh, the manual method. So satisfying, yet inefficient. I was talking about like just banning a guy's computer from editing, but not necessarily viewing. Is that possible, or only internet connection bans?

    As far as I know, there isn't really any accurate way to identify a particular computer, other than by their IP address.  So... no.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    This is only a temporary measure, I believe...
