Translations:Help:Blocking users/7/en


 * 1) * Prevent account creation: Selecting this option will prevent the blocked username or IP address from creating new accounts.
 * 2) * Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IPs they try to edit from: This option is only available when blocking a username. When selected, the user's IP will become "autoblocked" (these show up as numbers such as #17 on the active block list) for a short period of time and any other IP addresses that the blocked user tries to edit from will be blocked as well. The duration of an "autoblock" can be changed by adjusting the value of $expiry.
