[Wikipedia-l] Elevating ip blocking

Tue Jul 13 22:17:29 UTC 2004

After reading the thing about AOL proxies:

How possible would it be to go into a very temporary "elevated risk"
level, where new anon IPs are not accepted for edit to foil the
ip-proxied troll?
Any ip anon with a valid cookie and a non-changing session ip that
was instantiated prior to the "elevated threat" would be able to
continue to edit.

I suggest that such elevated levels might last 10-15 minutes,
renewable as long as the threat remains.

IP blocking would still work. 

Thoughts?
