--- Comment #41 from Teles <[email protected]> ---
If we checkuser every vandal we find, it may be helpful somehow, but that
wouldn't be allowed by our policies as we can't check every vandal. The fact
that this bug is helpful doesn't make it allowed by our policies. It helps to
relate IP with user and, worse, for users who are not identified to foundation.
I was once able to see the IP of an user who had never given reasons to be
checked and while I was not a checkuser.

Autoblock removals can still be done by using the block ID, that can be
provided by a blocked user. I have already removed lots of autoblocks and I
never used the IP for that.
