Forum:Infinite blocks

I don't believe there is an option for infinite blocks anymore. I tried to block someone infinitely, and it told me that it was an invalid block length. I also tried indefinite, but that didn't work either. Any ideas?User:Hockeyben

Works for me--


 * Indefinite is still in the dropdown for me. What wiki are you seeing this on?


 * I also noticed this a couple days ago, it is not an option on any wiki I am an admin on.--Sxerks 01:54, May 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * It is not an option on most wikis but it can be typed in manually and it will work.--


 * I think it's case-sensitive as I tried using Indefinite (with a capital 'I'). Type in  (no caps) as that works.


 * Or type in a really long year, ahahaha. But their great(x???) grandchildren might come back. D:

Hi. You can add an option for infinite into MediaWiki:Ipboptions on the wiki. Here is an example. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 18:28, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

What is Infinite Blocker?User:Ferb123


 * An infinite block is when an account is stopped from editing pages on a wiki permanently.--


 * Tagging FAQ. An infinite block is also known as a permaban, but it isn't really infinite or permanent. The block can be rescinded or changed. "Infinite" just means it will last as long as the block is in place. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 9 May 2011 1:44 PM Pacific
 * As an extra tip, I'd strongly recommend against using this for IP editors, as IP addresses change - you can feel free to do this to users, though - if you feel they deserve it  Random Time  20:46, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
