 * Side comment: It seems a little ridiculous to ban an entire ISP for a  year  just because one or a few people on it were misbehaving. Alhanalem (talk) 20:55, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, that's the only option available to us sometimes in those circumstances. Daniel Case (talk) 06:11, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I mean really- a YEAR? Don't most script kiddies and vandals and such move on to the next attackable site long before that? (Edit: Also, can't you ask an ISP to impose sanctions on the user(s) responsible if the malicious activity is against that services' terms of use? )Alhanalem (talk) 07:28, 17 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Feel free to raise the issue with your ISP. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 12:50, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm taking it then, from the apparent ignorance of this request, that my only options are wait for this unjust block to expire, or access the site from another location? Let me point out that my IP has never changed over several years and I have never made an inappropriate contribution to this wiki. I see no reason why I can't be let through. I want more information as to the circumstances of this blocking, why it has to be so long, and why you can't unblock this one single IP. Alhanalem (talk) 16:33, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

After reading through this, a couple of things: My IP is static, not dynamic. I cannot be sure of this, but as far as I know, all of the IPs through Time Warner Cable of Maine are static. I have been affected by collateral damage from a long term range block. I created an account, and I still cannot edit. PLEASE do something about this. Alhanalem (talk) 17:43, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I would suggest that you confirm with your ISP that this IP address of yours is static, if so come back here and ask for a checkuser to evaluate your request.  Ron h jones (Talk) 01:49, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I have left a note for the blocking admin, Cirt. TN X Man  16:33, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

IP block exempt
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption.-- Cirt (talk) 18:19, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your consideration. I assure you that only good can come out of this. :) Alhanalem (talk) 20:36, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

... May I ask why this exemption was removed after only three days? I reached for making an actual contribution to an article and discovered I'm blocked again. I haven't been given a fair chance. (As you can see from this template, my IP has not changed) Alhanalem (talk) 17:51, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
