Interesting, they used to not block anons globally, because they risked blocking tons of people if it was a shared IP (especially IPv4). I wonder what research they do now? Maybe they don't care anymore. Hmm - I don't think this has ever been the case. There have been frequent global blocks on IPs since 2007. IP ranges are the one that isn't blocked globally, for that reason (of risking blocking tons of people). Hmmm... I guess it was rarely mentioned or hard to find then. ...and it's not like I'm going to go hunting for globally blocked anons.

I've seen some egregious behavior from many anons that never got globally blocked.
