:That makes sense for IPs, but not accounts. Most of the accounts that we block need to stay blocked forever, whereas the IP addresses used to create those accounts should not be blocked forever. IP addresses are a different animal, because even static IP addresses eventually get reassigned. The indefinite blocks of bad accounts are common practice on wikis, except wikis run by liberal morons. [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] ([[User talk:DMorris|talk]]) 18:53, 22 April 2017 (EDT)

::When you block accounts, sometimes does it also block the IPs? I seem to recall having to unblock an IP after after blocked the persons account even after they were unblocked. Or was their just overlap and someone may have blocked that IP since the user account was blocked. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:04, 22 April 2017 (EDT)
