--- Comment #3 from billinghurst <[email protected]> ---
We have one of our abusive LTAs seemingly cruising the global block list and
comparing it to meta's local block list.  Seeing multiple occasions where this
vandal will pick a report open proxy from the block list, and if it is not
blocked on meta will then use it to abuse and vandalise on meta.  A test
(opportunity) saw it occur within 33 minutes of a global block without a local
meta block.

This addition therefore increases the chance that there is not an omission of a
requirement to block, and also cuts out repetitive steps that stewards need to
undertake.  Especially important during concerted LTA attacks where they have
lined up a series of abusable proxies and are in full attack mode.

Thanks.
