User talk:Jeff Relf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jpgordon ignored my email to him.

Being poor, NoCharge.COM is the only ISP I can afford. It's not an Open Proxy... So why are you calling it that ? Also, please inform me why logging-in is not enough.

This user's request to have the autoblock on his/her IP address lifted has been DECLINED.

This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or zombie computer. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If your ISP has misconfigured its proxy, you can try bypassing it by logging into Wikimedia's secure gateway at https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/. For more information about open proxies and what you can do, please see the WikiProject on open proxies.
  • Decline reason:

Open proxies had to be blocked from editig due to the constant abuse coming from then. Unfortunately, some people use them to avoid scrutinity. Really sorry but we just can't let these people edit. — -- lucasbfr talk 12:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

In response to your question, please see WP:NOP for more information. I'm not able to run any robust check for open proxies, so I'll leave the review for another admin more capable in that area. Apologies for the inconvenience. – Luna Santin (talk) 05:28, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • nocharge.com is the very definition of an open proxy: anybody who wants to sets up dialup connection to a particular number, logs in as "guest" with password "password", and edits anonymously. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 08:08, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 When I dial-up, I get just one IP address, Gordon;
 e.g. 64.40.53.133.NoCharge.COM .

 Yes, it's a dynamically assigned IP-address ( Shock ! );
 but, no, it's not a proxy for something else.

 Why not employ a soft-block on NoCharge.COM,
 so users with a verifiable history can still edit ?

........

 First WikiPedia blocks networks from China 
 that attempt to connect via proxies,
 now it claims that a huge ISP, NoCharge.COM,
 is a proxy ( God that's funny ) in order to block even more users.

 Now you're ignoring my attempts to contact you.
 Are you guys arrogant, fat, lazy, or just ignorant ?
 Iquiring minds what to know.

 Obviously, no one is going to tell me why a user's verifiable history
 is not good enough... fine, I gave up on you guys a long time ago.
