They as both or they because you don't know the anon's gender?
Mead and I are female and 101. Is a male
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).
Ah, so that's why IP ranges are blocked just locally.

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.
Sometimes they don't get blocked, true. That's staff's or vstf's choice.
Also, IP blocks are generally kept to a few months, not blocked permanently, since the disruptive person is likely to be under a new ip by then, as explained in this Staff video.
Yeah, that makes more sense. Perhaps global anon IP blocks aren't rare, but they are almost never long term, thus hard to find.
Although there are some IP ranges that cause more trouble than others. I am not sure if there has been any issues lately, but a while back (like maybe 6 months or so) there was an IP spammer who seemed to have access to a whole range and had been blocked many times over the previous few years.
