== Block reason == Because every computer is assigned a unique IP address, an effective method to stop a user who is abusing their editing privileges is to block that address from editing. A problem arises with vandals who can change their IP address at will. Open proxies allow this, since connecting through them allows users to edit using that address instead of their own; blocks against that new address can be evaded by switching to another address, and so forth. Automated scripts capable of doing this are especially disruptive. For this reason, open proxies may be blocked from editing WickedGov projects for any length of time.
