→Blocking Options
*'''Block anonymous users only''': When blocking an IP address, this should almost always be checked, unless the IP in question is suspected of using registered accounts; if that's the case, then the block ''should not be for an infinite time span'', as innocent IP's and users may end up being blocked.
*'''Prevent account creation''': This should <font color="crimson">''only''</font> be checked if the block duration is less than one (1) month, because innocent users and IP's may be blocked accidentally. For all infinite blocks, please '''leave this unchecked'''.
*'''Automatically block the last IP address...''': Should only be used if the block is less than one (1) month. For all infinite blocks, please '''leave this unchecked''' to avoid blocking innocent contributors.
