, 04:13, December 5, 2008→Range Blocks
::In the future, I think that the range blocks should be performed by you, Geo (an actual administrator). The thought that I actually had to run checkuser over the IP's blocked and finding a seemingly legitimate contributor worries me. Block ranges need to be sharply defined. The larger the range, the shorter the block. I'd prefer to see a /24 range (256 IP's) for infinite duration rather than a /16 range for 1 year. I don't think we will worry Andy with the ipblock-exempt right as the problem can be prevented by using better range blocking methods. [[User:Jallen|Jallen]] 22:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:::I don't have time to perform every single block. It is for that reason that I authorized TK to perform these rangeblocks. [[User:Geo.plrd|Geoff Plourde]]<sup>[[User_talk:Geo.plrd|Complain!]]</sup> 23:13, 4 December 2008 (EST)
It's better not to discuss range blocks. If '''you''' can't access CP because of a range block, contact a sysop via email. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:23, 4 December 2008 (EST)

:It seems to me that it's better not to ''perform'' range blocks. What if the "you" in question is a new user? When I first started at CP I didn't know what a sysop was, let alone how to contact one. How many complaints a month do we get from people who don't understand that "night editing" being turned off doesn't mean that they are blocked? The fact remains that it doesn't make sense to block 4 times more people than you intend to, unless your intent is to shut down editing on this site.
