You may have noticed a large number of recently blocked IPs. I'm sure you are aware that if the Recent changes are viewed using the ''enhanced recent changes'' (in 'my preferences'/''Recent changes''), the list of blocked IPs is compacted into an expandable tab so it doesn't take up a large amount of space. These IPs were found on various article's discussion pages (mainly, some have also been found in the history of the actual article page). The IPs belonged to spammers that had their content removed, but the IPs were not blocked by a previous admin. In some cases this resulted in numerous reposted spam. Because these occurred some time ago, this may be closing the stable door after the horse has bolted, but my thoughts were if I'm there anyway I would block them. Is this unnecessary?--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 22:49, 30 June 2012 (MDT) | You may have noticed a large number of recently blocked IPs.

| + | :I wasn't even aware of that option! Maybe it was added with the software upgrade. Agreed on blocking those IPs.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 23:57, 30 June 2012 (MDT) | ||
