::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)

==Interference and Collusiveness==
AlanS received the following [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3AAlanS&year=&month=-1 block]:
*20:00, 2 December 2008 Bugler (Talk | contribs) blocked AlanS (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of 3 days (account creation disabled) (Interference)
The ''interference'' seems to be the following [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:RodWeathers&diff=prev&oldid=575891 edit] on a talk-page:
:Well, the information is freely available, so there is no need to invade anybody's privacy: The user was blocked for "Evolutionist Vandalism", and only one of his/her edits has been reverted: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Race&diff=575825&oldid=572439 This] one for being made by a [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Race&diff=575827&oldid=575825 "liberal evolutionist"] --[[User:AlanS|AlanS]] 19:44, 2 December 2008 (EST)
So, he answered a question of another editor in a civil manner. How is this interference? And what is bad about interference, anyway?
When the ''administrator'' HenryS lifted the block, the ''editor with blocking rights'' Bugler blocked AlanS again, stating the same reason.
To use the terminology Bugler had introduced: we common grunts are interested in what's happening here at CP and want to be dealt with fairly. And why don't the sergeants follow the orders of the officers, but expect us to be obedient to them, not allowing us to raise even simple questions - because that's what AlanS's block is about?
Another troubling tendency in the last days was that frequently the instruction to use email or other non-public venues of information popped up, more often than in the months before.
As this is a board where high-school pupils and elder women and men communicate, A. Schlafly has rightly tried to provide an environment where any idea (how misguided ever) of ''creepiness'' is ruled out. As any teacher knows, one should try to stick to the ''open door'' policy and refrain from contacting pupils via email, IM or such.
