Recent block of IP:68.234.100.60

You may want to consider talk page revoking of 68.234.100.60 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) which you blocked recently. Looking at the block log, it was done last time, and the IP is blanking block logs from their talk page. Wes Wolf ^Talk 15:09, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I find it is best to simply ignore blocked users unless they are doing something that violates policy such as personal attacks. -- John Reaves 15:44, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

When blocking this IP address, did you happen to see the block log? I've found that it's fairly common practice for admins to escalate block durations for long-term IP vandals overtime (schools, shared IPs, etc.). In general, short blocks for these types of IPs don't stop the vandalism for very long and they oftentimes quickly resume vandalizing, so I'm not sure if a short 31 hour block will stop them for long. Thank you. 207.255.138.175 (talk) 19:58, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
