Changes

I am a Christian, and I believe in being charitable, even praying for those who spitefully use us, but our blocking policy is not in tune with reality. Nearly 100% of the time if you are spammed by an anonymous I.P. address, you are not dealing with a human being but a zombie, about whom we have no word from the Lord on charity. These are computers who are virus infected and their owners don't even know that they are being used as part of concerted attacks against websites all over the world. I saw these "FIELD_VALUE_asljkas"-like attacks all over the internet the past few days by a variety of I.P. address. Blocking these address for a week or less just makes for more work during the next round of attacks. I think, that is malicious, spamming or destructive links are being done anonymously we should ban the address for a year, and always be careful to allow account creation: someone my come here from an infected computer and have no idea. Sorry to pontificate so, but I've been cleaning up these attacks all week all over the internet, and our policy just doesn't seem wise/effective. --[[User:Aquatiki|Aquatiki]] 16:34, 17 December 2008 (PST)
