When a user is blocked with autoblock, whenever they login, the new IP they login from is also autoblocked. The only difference between what we have now and this patch is that if the blocked user tries to edit anonymously they'll also trigger the autoblock (since right now the only way of telling if a blocked user tries to edit is if they log in under their blocked account). -- 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
