--- Comment #6 from Tim Starling <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #5) > I'm afraid of administrators going overboard and blocking an ISP for one > user. I'm sure it happens sometimes. The first range block was for a single person -- the block of Bell Canada in the whole of Nova Scotia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_archive_2004-09-26&diff=prev&oldid=2063547> I still believe that it was the right move for the community at that time -- the block was effective, Hubley left, and we kept some valuable admins who we might otherwise have lost due to burnout. Now that we have IP block exemptions and anon-only blocks, blocks of large ranges are pretty common. There is already a block of a /29 IPv6 range on the English Wikipedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3A2A00%3AF48%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%2F29> Anyway, the point is, the community has some experience in administering this kind of block, they are not as naive as you think. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
