I got blocked out of the wiki!
by hazel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59N8F)
I was browsing the LQ wiki just now and saw an article that was written in rather a stilted style that I thought I could improve on. So I logged in and clicked on edit. And this is what I saw:
Quote:
Now of course, I have no control whatever over my IP address. That is assigned by Entanet (now City Fibre) and probably changes every time I switch on my router. Presumably the spammer referred to uses the same Internet provider (which is odd actually as not a lot of people use them)
What do I do now?
