Would there be any objections to systematically blocking all anonymous proxies on a site-wide basis? -- Tim Starling </PRE> <!--endarticle--> <!--htdig_noindex--> <HR> <P><UL> <!--threads--> <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="010603.html">[WikiEN-l] Desysop Morwen </A></li> <LI>Next message: <A HREF="010607.html">[WikiEN-l] Re: Anonymous proxies (was Re: Desysop Morwen) </A></li> <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> <a href="date.html#10605">[ date ]</a> <a href="thread.html#10605">[ thread ]</a> <a href="subject.html#10605">[ subject ]</a> <a href="author.html#10605">[ author ]</a> </LI> </UL> <hr> <a href="http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l">More information about the WikiEN-l mailing list</a><br> <!--/htdig_noindex--> </body></html>
