And the IP(s) that > triggered the actual block? [another steward opinion] Thought about it and imho you should mention that it's an XFF block and you should mention th IP address. Otherwise we don't know by which block he's affected. And if someone uses a proxy on purpose he probably already knows about XFF headers as well, so that shouldn't make a difference. I'd use solely "globally blocked". And yes, same for the global block as I adviced for the local block. We should know what causes the block if someone complains about it. It's our "job" to help people. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
