 @ Lamiah2o I see that you blocked the IP address for a year



 The person might have done a lot of bad things however you need to remember that it’s an IP address. There are many different Internet providers each having their own rules. Some internet provides don't change the IP address at all hence long banning is effective, others change it monthly, weekly, daily and I have even heard of internet providers who allow you to change your IP address every 5 minutes. Lets take a weekly IP change as en example. If you paned the person with a weekly IP address change even though you banned them for a year the ban will only last a week for that person, however the next person who gets the address will be banned. If everyone would have a weekly IP address change then you would have banned the right person for 1 week however might have banned the next 51 people who might be very helpful editors. This is why I suggest banning IP addresses maximum for 2 weeks.
