[00:34:27] And if you don't mind, could one of you guys go and hide GrimReaper701's offensive edits on Rotten Websites Wiki? https://rottenwebsites.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Blog:I_am_going_to_make_a_remastered_version_of_these_2_wikis&oldid=32172 https://rottenwebsites.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Blog:On_or_around_March_21,_2021...&oldid=32171 These edits right here are pretty much poking fun at Apollo Legend's death. I [00:34:28] should've requested while I was requesting his immediate lock of his account straight away. [00:34:29] [ I am going to make a remastered version of these 2 wikis - Rotten Websites Wiki ] - rottenwebsites.miraheze.org [00:34:30] [ On or around March 21, 2021... - Rotten Websites Wiki ] - rottenwebsites.miraheze.org [00:36:55] @DarkMatterMan4500 The first one for sure is grossly offensive and, imho, potentially libelous, so I will suppress that [00:37:27] Good, thank you. And like I said, I should've asked that while I was requesting his immediate lock of his account. [00:38:36] Hold up, Void already beat you to it Doug. [00:39:19] I see that. He's revision deleted it, so will discuss oversight [00:40:47] And before he was locked, he asked if I was Stephenfisher2001, and I answered no, as he might've mistaken me for him. [00:41:20] ok [00:44:33] Knowing Void, he sure knows how to pack a punch on those offensive posts and on the users who are breaking the rules. [01:26:47] dmehus: Can I request a Global IP Block Exemption? [02:08:20] @blackwidowmovie0 Umm.. for what reason? [02:09:35] If I may, what is BlackWidowMovie0 even saying? [02:10:26] @DarkMatterMan4500 Global IP block exemptions are granted to users impacted by global IP blocks. In most cases, it's not needed, as 95% of global IP blocks are soft blocks that don't affect logged in users [02:11:11] dmehus: I am constantly blocked when using an open proxy, and have had to disable it when editing on Mirahee. [02:11:15] *Miraheze [02:11:48] @blackwidowmovie0 Considering you are subject to a Steward-imposed one global account limit (not counting your bot account), I actually can't think of a single reason why you'd need a global IP block exemption actually. Even in the off chance you hit one hard IP global block, you could easily just switch a VPN [02:11:56] @blackwidowmovie0 Logged in or out? [02:12:03] That's what he's talking about? If so, then global blocks should only be handed out if the users are locked due to cross-wiki abuse, LTA, or even cross-wiki vandalism and abuse of multiple accounts. [02:12:23] dmehus: Logged in [02:12:41] @blackwidowmovie0, what's the IP block you are hitting? [02:12:44] and every time I switch, it's blocked [02:12:52] :thinking: [02:12:56] dmehus: Void has set it, let me get you the message [02:12:58] 🤔 [02:13:15] Okay, I'll be back in a bit. [02:14:08] @blackwidowmovie0 If I may, what IP blocks are you talking about? [02:14:18] I am using a VPN [02:15:23] @blackwidowmovie0 Ummmmm, VPNs are indeed a very powerful tool that should not be abused that easily. [02:15:46] I don't abuse them [02:16:21] Okay, I'm ending this discussion as I don't want this to suddenly turn into a fight that will get us nowhere. [02:16:43] darkmatterman450: good decision [02:17:08] dmehus: [02:17:19] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/DoCSZILc/ [02:18:01] the above IP is a proxy [02:26:26] all proxy blocks only affect logged out users [02:26:32] if you are logged in you are fine [02:27:22] I am logged in [02:27:28] I'll check again [02:28:03] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/GhkL07GF/image.png [02:29:02] ok [02:35:04] @blackwidowmovie0 ^ what @Zppix said. You won't be affected by that rangeblock. Thus, I'm closing this as moot/not needed [10:18:12] [[Special:CentralAuth/Best TV Shows Wiki Is Trash]] I almost forgot about this account.
