Hello Sulfur, recently, I have been blocked by you for sharing a blocked IP address.
When I was editing, a message came up:
Your name or IP address has been blocked.
The block was made by Sulfur.
Reason given: This username or IP address is prevented from editing across the entire Wikia network due to vandalism or other disruption.
If you believe this is in error, please contact Wikia.
The blocker also gave this additional reason: spam.
Start of block: 15:28, January 11, 2012
Expiry of block: 15:28, April 11, 2012
Intended blockee: 220.255.1.76
Block ID: #27613
Current IP address: 220.255.1.68
I don't know why, if I had been spamming on Wikia, I should have been warned before being blocked. I mainly edit on the One Piece Encyclopedia. If you are able to please change the block settings to Block Anonymous Users Only. If you have any notifications, please contact me on my talk page. Thanks in advance.
It's altogether likely that you are not the spammer, but someone else on your network is. Indeed, in the space of a minute, your messages on my talk page at Memory Alpha came from two different IP addresses, suggesting that your host bounces you around quite rapidly.
Those blocks (as you can tell from the "Intended blockee" are IP address blocks only. We cannot choose to block "IP only", and indeed, that would not have covered the problem in this case, as that IP was used by several spam accounts.
I have unblocked the IP, but I note from the text you pasted above that you'd already moved onto a new IP address anyhow.
Sometimes, when I get blocked, I would then exit the browser and do other things. About half an hour later, I will be unblocked, allowing me to edit again. Afterwards, blocked again and the reason of the block is the same.
Someone is complaining about a ban that Sulfur placed on them in December, due to Spam. The user claims they've never posted on a wiki before, (though I guess you hear that a lot!) I'd never heard of ya'll before, but now I'm wondering if I could get details regarding the ban, or what needs to be done to lift their wikia-wide ban (if appropriate).

Hi, generally I wanted to ask about the block that I got earlier, some time back in January. Just wanted to know what exactly happened, since during then I was blocked due to "spam", which I'm very sure that I wasn't doing it (I'm on regular anti-vandal activity on my wiki too). Thanks for your attention to this issue.
