Wikipedia talk:Abuse response/123.100.118.9

Why is there a requirement for contacting this institution or its service provider?
This IP address averages just over one edit per month to the article space. Why is there a need to contact anyone about it? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:35, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Because it begins vandalising shortly after each block expires. -- Σ  talk  contribs  23:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * It would seem to me that an appropriate and adequate response to that situation would be an exponentially increasing length of block, each time. Which is exactly what already happened; the IP is now blocked for three years. However, you have still not explained why there is an advantage (to Wikipedia or to anyone else) in contacting the owner of the IP about this. Whatever students had access to this IP this year, are unlikely to have access to it in late 2014. Whatever security measures are put in place by staff at the school as a result of contacting them (which may or may not happen), are also unlikely to still be in place by late 2014 - in fact even the staff that are contacted now, may have moved on by then. Also, what security measures are you hoping they put in place - blocking access to Wikipedia for the entire school, for more than three years? How does that benefit them, Wikipedia, or Wikipedia's stated objective? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:32, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
