Given that most people using Wikia Community Central will be aware of the discussions and have not commented, can it be assumed that the level of negative IP activity is generally such that can be handled by local persons with help from roaming VSTF persons and/or reporting problems?

A blanket-block should be one option among several- but (apart from those wikis aimed at young persons and also certain specialist/technical wikis etc where signing in at all times is the rational option) should it only be a temporary procedure? Given that 'IP passers by' sometimes spot typos or have a genuine question to ask, or otherwise benefit the wiki in question, what mechanisms should there be in place to allow them to do so on wikis that otherwise block IP contributions?
