:Generally speaking, it's a good idea to ask Andy or Karajou before doing anything like that. I am also technically an "assistant sysop" but since what I have been doing has been in response to vandalism, there hasn't been any question about it.

:Another thing I am going to point out is that it is a good idea to check and see if a suspected open proxy is blocked on Wikipedia, unless you know for a fact (and can provide proof) that it is an open proxy. If an IP or IP range isn't blocked at Wikipedia as a proxy, run it past me before you block (you can email me rather than posting on-wiki if you wish). It's harder to identify ranges that need blocked without checkuser though. [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] ([[User talk:DMorris|talk]]) 13:29, 9 August 2017 (EDT)

::Okay, that makes sense. I do know for a fact that my list is composed solely of public proxies (also, I wasn't sure if I should post that name, in case some vandals didn't know, but it probably doesn't matter). Since I don't have checkuser, I wouldn't be able to block specifically based on actions on this site. However, they would be addresses which can be used for that purpose. Since CP's official policy is "no proxies," I see no harm in that kind of blocking, but will probably get a second opinion before doing so.
