Here's an idea: how about a way to "selectively" block/unblock users
sharing IPs? Eg. when going to the block page:
* Block other users sharing this user's IP? (would enable or disable
autoblocker for registered users, would prevent or allow other users on
the same IP to keep editing)
* Unblock this user only (would reverse autoblocker for IPs, would allow
trusted users to keep editing when hit by IP blocks)
Alternatively, how about a "global whitelist" of users who *won't* be
blocked by the autoblocker, ever (unless they are individually blocked)?
