--- Comment #8 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #7) > Adding yet another block when the block was done in error just increments > the block count even further. Right. So perhaps alternate solutions (such as auto-expunging block logs after several years) would be better to look at here. > Perhaps this should be solved socially, but adding an annotation into the logs > seems like a prudent thing to do. Hmm, you've lost me. An additional 1-second block _is_ an annotation. I think the whole approach being attempted here may be misguided. The issue, as I see it, may be that Wikimedians have a strange attachment to preserving records indefinitely, when perhaps not all records need to be kept indefinitely. Is there a reason to not auto-prune block log entries older than, say, five years? Probably the subject of a separate bug, but definitely worth investigating, I think. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
