FWIW, I set IP block exempt on Jake's account a few years ago, but to my
frustration it looks like someone removed it because of inactivity.

(Editorializing a bit, I don't see much value in the removal; while it is
true that an inactive user's account could be broken into, the permission
extends to a single account, which can be blocked like any other if it
starts to act unproductively.)
