Dear Chris,

I'm not sure it's needed to explicit that the block has been made based on XFF
headers. As it's not hard to change it, some long-term vandals could bypass
this block easily if they know the nature. Same reason as if we blocked people
based on their UA...

On the contrary, showing the IP that triggered the block would be useful.
Sometimes people report us that they have been blocked without a valid reason,
which is good to know. They couldn't report without knowing which IP triggered
the block.

But this is only my opinion and does not reflect what other stewards can think.
I forwarded the issue to the whole team so they can also comment.
