I don't know how you guys managed to make something worse, but for some reason on Survivor Wiki, users that should be currently blocked whose block was December 2, 2017 or earlier are somehow unblocked, despite their logs not showing them being unblocked by the admins. I found this out as one blocked user, David34, managed to create a page (a blank one, but a page nonetheless), despite that they should've been blocked by the block log. (One of our admins recently reblocked him.) I went through our logs and was able to determine the date as user TunnellerReachedAKill is not shown to be blocked, and there is no one shown to perform an unblock, even though they were blocked on December 2, 2017, infinitely, whereas user Firoom1128 is shown to be blocked, which occurred on December 14, 2017, for 1000 years. Going through some random users even earlier than TunnellerReachedAKill show that blocks look like they were overturned.

Outside of the UCP, there was not major structural changes to Survivor Wiki, so it couldn't have been a screw up on our end (even though reversing a bunch of blocks would've shown up on the block logs if they were performed by a user). We've been active since 2006, meaning we have over a decade of users that should be currently blocked that have been unblocked for no reason. And yes, some of these users are likely long gone, but given that one user was blocked from a wiki was still monitoring the wiki, whose to say who else is. You've very likely unleashed Pandora's Box for an unassuming wiki, for other wikis created before 2018 (although who is to say a more recently created wiki also has users from a point onwards just unblocked for no reason).

It really feels like you guys failed to test the UCP in any meaningful way and/or never got proper feedback on this, and it's been a colossal trainwreck.
