To explain, some of you may have noticed that we have had two different people as of recent who have either been making unproductive edits or vandalizing. Both users keep coming back under multiple accounts, so in order for us to prevent them from coming back in, we may resort to range blocks. That's really like... part of last resort though because range blocks would not only have the potential to affect the targeted user, but innocent and legitimate users like TomboyJessie here. This is not the first time this happened either. One of my friends at the time was accidentally blocked because he was within a blocked range.

And another difficulty is trying to get these innocents out of the range because they have little ways to communicate with us to appeal or may be become frustrated because they don't understand why they were blocked when it wasn't meant for them. Like this example, Jessie had to get someone else to alert us of this situation.

She should be out of the range now.
