Hi!
I'm an admin on wiki.town-of-salem.com. I am trying to block the user "Unrealname123sucks" [U123S] who is continually harassing "Unrealname123" [U123].
U123S and U123 have the same IP address, since they are living together. (Can't solve the issue IRL... lol. Well, whatever.) Additionally, U123S keeps making new accounts.
I tried the following:
Checked: "Prevent account creation" "Automatically block the last IP address". I did not check "prevent logged-in users...". However, U123 could not post, since his IP was blocked. The fifth checkbox is not working as intended.
I also did some tests on myself by creating multiple alternate accounts and blocking them. I did not change my IP during these tests.
- Create account "ulitestacc" and "ulitestacc2"
- Log into my regular account and block ulitestacc with options "prevent account creation", "automatically block last IP address", but not "prevent logged-in users"
- After logging out, I could create an account with the blocked IP address.
- After logging into ulitestacc2, I could not post, since my IP was blocked.
The option to prevent account creation and allowing logged-in users aren't working. I believed for a while that U123 was a troll and the same person as U123S; but he was right, unchecking the fifth option "prevent logged-in users" does nothing, users with the same IP are still blocked.
I could not find U123 nor ulitestacc2 in the blocklist to unblock (whitelist?) them manually. I have to remove the IP block to unblock them; in doing so, I allow toxic users to create new accounts and repeat their spamming/harassment/etc.
What do?
Kind regards,
uli
