Looks like we both were able to edit the page - so you figured out the work around? As for whose online - seems that blocking only works on editing - blocked accounts can still be logged in - that is my guess and it seems automated. Really impressive work around here Sean!! I would ask you to consider a lighter touch sometimes with new folks edits. | Looks like we both were able to edit the page - so you figured out the work around?

:Maybe there was a delay in a cache somewhere after I edited the [[My spam blacklist]] - because just after I sent you this orginal message, it worked for me. It doesn't answer the issue of why a sysop was blocked by the spam blacklists, but an ordinary user can bypass it??? | |||
:Online issues - I really think we need to also delete said accounts of spammers. Like you say, blocking them just prevents them from editing, but they can still flood us by being online. If we both block them, and then also delete them, this will sort out this issue. But only a crat can delete accounts. We really ought to install [[mw:Extension:CheckUser]] as a matter of urgency, so we can range-block IPs. | |||
:Anyone in particular of where I've been heavy handed??? :-( Best, --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 06:02, 31 March 2013 (PDT) | |||
