Please reverse your decision to block a "proxy" (sic) IP address for 3 months.

It is NOT a proxy ip address that is paraded around the world.

It's a dynamic ip address that is randomly assigned to all users by a particular ISP.

1. It's pointless to ban it in the long run (i.e more than a day as that's the up tier login period) as the IP address can be cycled easily with enough time and effort, and infuriates other people who had nothing to do with the ban.

2. It would appear that you've ticked the "Prevent logged-in users from editing from this IP address" option, which is grossly unsuitable as the IP address is not a proxy/proxy service.

(Even while logged in, I randomly encounter the ban when my IP address cycles into it).

Do remove/adjust/do your research before even giving one out with regards to the ban.

An ASAP removal would be ideal as it's doing nothing at the moment except to frequently annoy innocent users.
