So we can't block IP address manually to stop > creating more accounts. That's why this function is suggested. Checkusers can tell/block specific IP addresses. On English Wikipedia we reduce the ability for the public to determine that user:A=IP:123 from the logs by different sysops performing the block, however as the disruption increases, our need to protect their privacy decreases: the disruptor is choosing to continue. Or Korean Wikipedia can increase the setting of $wgAutoblockExpiry by consensus decision by the community. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAutoblockExpiry I think it is also possible to create a group for 'ultra-auto-blocked' accounts, and have a higher $wgAutoblockExpiry value for these accounts. If that is possible, this bug can be closed until Korean Wikipedia has consensus to implement it. However I think that it will not be effective, because any public record that an account is ultra-auto-blocked will mean that the disruptive person will use a different strategy. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
