Template:SchoolIP
School IP address Attention:
This IP address, (IP address appears here), belongs to a school and may be shared by many users. In the case of schools using proxy servers, this IP address may in fact represent many users at many different computers.
Because of this, a message meant for one person may be gotten by another and a block will be shared by many people. If you are editing from this address and are getting messages because of other people, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. In some cases you may not be able to create an account for a while because of people trying to fight vandalism.
Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block.
Note: In the event of on going vandalism, anonymous editing from this IP address may not be allowed for up to 6 months at a time while abuse reports may be sent to your school administration for investigation in cases of long-term abuse by registered users. |
