{{unblock|Someone without a Wiki account has the same IP address I guess. I want to be able to edit! I don't even know what "apple chapeling" means, it's not English!}}

Tis is what the box says:

Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by SoothingR for the following reason (see our blocking policy): keeps 'apple chapeling' Your IP address is 202.7.166.163.

  • Yeah, it was what we call "collateral damage" - someone with the same IP address as you vandalising, so you get autoblocked when they are blocked. Sorry about that - we've got new software coming online that should help us avoid it in future. In this case, I've tried unblocking the IP, then blocking it again only for anon users. In theory that means you can edit as long as you're logged in. If the theory is wrong, shout me (using {{unblock}} again) and we'll try something else. Happy editing!

PS - the vandal was inserting the words "APPLE CHAPEL" into articles. No, we don't know what it means either. ЯEDVERS
