I just want to clarify if there is a way for users registered on Wikia to avoid getting caught in blocks made by VSTF or Staff that automatically blocks anyone who uses the IP of the offending user? Moreover, why does such an autoblock function even exist? It punishes innocent users who only ended up using an IP address that was, through sheer coincidence, used for spam or vandalism.

There has been several occasions where I have been blocked for as long as I used that particular IP, and it's a speed bump that frequently ruins my momentum as a contributor, to the point that my activity dwindled down because I have to make several attempts to save hundreds of words on an article but this darn block prevents me from saving my progress.
