Request reason:

My IP address: 14.202.239.103 is blocked from technical 'checkuser' evidence. I won't do it again unless I have my own Wikipedia account logged in. The evidence is showing that the block reason is stating:

CheckUser evidence has determined that this IP address or network has been used (not necessarily by you) to disrupt Wikipedia. It has been blocked from editing to prevent further abuse. If you get this message, please read the following information.

Wikipedia tries to be open, but we sometimes must block a range of IP addresses or an entire network, to prevent editing by abusers, vandals, or block evaders. These "range blocks" can affect users who have done nothing wrong. If you are a legitimate user, follow the instructions below to edit despite the block. Users who are the intended target of a range block may still appeal the block. IP users (without an account): If you do not currently have an account and wish to bypass this block, an account can be created to allow you to edit. Please use this form to request an account under your preferred username. In general, these blocks only prevent users who are not logged in from editing; once you are logged in, the block will no longer affect you in any way. It is important that you use an e-mail address issued to you by your ISP, school, or organisation, so we may verify that you are a legitimate user. If using the form, please refer to this block under "comments". If e-mailing, please refer to this block in your message. Registered users (with an account): Please ensure you are logged in to your account. If you are unable to edit while logged in you may request IP block exemption to bypass blocks unconnected with you that affect your editing. Post an unblock request to your user talk page. Administrators: CheckUsers are privy to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block without consulting a CheckUser. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

What do you mean "I won't do it again unless I have my own Wikipedia account logged in." Won't do what again? Bbb23 Is this a case of autoblock working as designed? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:49, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ohnoitsjamie: Not exactly. The IP address is hard-blocked, which means the user can only edit their Talk page. They used a different IP to create their userpage. The autoblock is incidental. I have now blocked them as

Confirmed to BarryBenson (talk · contribs · count). Thanks for the ping.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:06, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
