Hi Anthony,
I'm trying to edit a wiki page I create in qemu.org.
I get the following error:
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
Your IP address has been automatically blocked because it was used by another user, who was blocked by Mjt.
The reason given is this:
Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Chruse Arroyo".
The reason given for Chruse Arroyo's block is: "Spamming links to external sites"
Start of block: 20:21, 17 December 2011
Expiry of block: 20:21, 18 December 2011
Intended blockee: 127.0.0.1
You may contact Mjt or one of the other administrators to discuss the block.
Note that you may not use the "e-mail this user" feature unless you have a valid e-mail address registered in your user preferences and you have not been blocked from using it.
Your current IP address is 127.0.0.1, and the block ID is #132.
Please include all above details in any queries you make.
Any idea how to solve it ?
Regards,
Orit Wasserman

This looks very fishy ^^^^^
I get the same error, and I suspect everybody will.
It looks like the wiki thinks we all access it from
localhost now :-)

It looks like the autoblock was created yesterday and
terminates automaticallytoday (see
http://wiki.qemu.org/index.php?title=Special:BlockList&action=search&ip=%23132).
That won't help much as long as the wiki thinks that everyone
has the localhost address because the next autoblock will
block all users again.
Are block lists really useful to protect the QEMU wiki?
Neither user names nor IP addresses are unique.
Spammerscan create any number of new names.

It is not the blocklist which is useful. By blocking _users_
I just mention that this is a spammer/bot, so we have a chance
to clean up the dead users. And since autoblock by IP is
enabled by default it triggers too. I will uncheck the checkbox
the next time I'll block a user account. It'd be nice to uncheck
it by default, too.
Thanks,
