User talk:Jason4sanity

Damned AOL again! Yet another case of 'guilt by association'. I just read a message saying I'm blocked from editing because another user vandalised part of the site - that user being a person who uses the same shared AOL proxy IP address as me and countless thousands of other people.

Why can't you change to a system which identifies us by our unique usernames instead of our IP?


 * Such a change has long been proposed and is being evaluated/developed. In the mean time if you need an unblock you need to give details of the block. If you want to do something proactive about the problem, complain to AOL it is their system and some of their users which cause the problem, so I would expect them to take a lead in dealing with it. --pgk( talk ) 07:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
