to stop people block-evading.
How is logging into your normal account (the one that the block was
placed for the in the first place) and hitting edit a block evasion?
That's like saying you're evading an arrest warrant by presenting your
real id to the police when they ask for one.
That's exactly what it did, I hit edit a couple times while logged in
as User:Njyoder to reread the block page and to see if it still showed
the source and it auto-renewed. That's NOT intentional as it serves
no purpose whatsoever.
The purpose is to prevent them from using sock puppets and to prevent
them from logging off and doing it, not to renew it when they log in
with their main account.
