Requesting temporary lift of IP cap for 16 June 2025
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The event timeframe: starts 16 June, 08:00 (UTC+0) and ends 16 June, 18:00 (UTC+0)

People have been advised to register before the event, and it is unlikely that we will reach the account creation limit on the day, and we will have an outreach dashboard set up so if there is not enough time to process this request we can workaround it.

Note: the IP occurs in a range that is currently subject to a block preventing IP editing, but logged in is still allowed. I am in touch with the admin to check whether this effects account creation.

Event Timeline

The block settings are configured to allow account creation, so the request is still relevant
