User:PCHS-NJROTC/WP Dealing with school IPs option 2

Because school IPs are used by many (often time thousands of) immature students who want to experiment with the edit button, nearly every school IP connected to the internet has probably vandalized Wikipedia. While dealing with vandalism from these IPs can be annoying, it is always important to assume good faith when dealing with such IPs. Never assume that an edits from a school are coming from the same person, unless the connection is blatantly obvious. Keep blocks on educational institutions and other shared networks short unless there is a demonstrated need to curtail long term abuse by what is likely one person. Consider contacting the institution to report the persistent abuse issuing a long term block. If an IP comes off of a long term block, do not reblock it long term; chances are any vandalism or good faith edits are coming from someone other than the previous long term abuser. Remember that we can undo vandalism, but we may never get back a good contributor that was turned away by a block.
