I blocked "Apothecary" but he's legit. Unblocked him, be he claims his IP address is still blocked. How do I unblock that if I cannot see it? Thanks [[User:Prino|Prino]] 12:48, 21 January 2012 (CET)
: I unblocked him. In the block list, there's a link to the IP Block list. May I ask how you determine "unacceptable usernames"? I am not sure wether it's a good idea to block users before they did any harm. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 12:52, 21 January 2012 (CET)
:: The FirstLastzrt etc are all spammers, most usernames ending in one or more digits are spammers, if you look on Google for new usernames, and they register on umpteen fora with the same name and that name doesn't occur anywhere else in the search results, you are almost certainly dealing with a spammer. "Apothecary" has rather strong links with certain types of medication. And names like Rowentasteamer and Deckerfoods are patently obvious. Happy with this explanation?
