Description:
As it is now, the only IP blocking option available blocks ALL edits that come
through the blocked IP address, from logged-in and anonymous users alike. This
is a problem with proxies like the one linked to here, which is shared by all
public internet access (libraries, schools, univerties) in an entire state. This
situation is bad, as blocking an entire system of public internet access
essentially restricts all edits in the state to come from privately owned
computers. So I propose that an option for administrators to ban only anonymous
edits from an IP address be created, to be used in the case of shared proxy
servers like this (obviously it wouldn't be a good idea to use this option for
non-proxies).
