I see at the top right of comments on this page that there is a yellow triangle with "Warn Moderators" so we can make a submission through that link.
Arnulf at one time indicated that moderators are able to apply some blocks, he gave no details. I suggested that someone who was banned need only to relog under a new alias but he saidno, they could still apply the block; assume that wouid be based upon a computer's IP address, but that would seem to be difficult again spam was coming from, ega a University network with multiple IPs, and then some ISPs use "floating" IP addresses, as I understand, you have an IP for that session but it is unlikely to be the same on the next time round. Most likely however those of concern to us have a permanently assigned IP.
Squeaky is clean, I'm just a tad messy!
