I'm being e-mail bombed right now by password reminders. Blocked IP adresses in
a project e.g.: meta, can't use the "password reminder" feature. I've blocked
an IP adress
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3A87.122.104.173&year=&month=-1,
then the owner of this IP adress tryied to use the feature and got the
following message: "Login error: Your IP address is blocked from editing, and
so is not allowed to use the password recovery function to prevent abuse." The
problem is that this vandals switch between projects and abuse them on all of
them. A feature avalaible to stewards should be implemented to block an IP
adress to send e-mail reminders as well as a dayly limit of reminders. Cheers.
